Does he get a 3rd rookie season if he doesn't shine this year?2 rookie years bc Lewis wanted to try to be a hard ass and only let him play 9 snaps. And let's not forget how at least 5 TDS passes from 35+ yards where he was wide open and our qb underthrew him by 10+ yards. And u mention catch percentage but let's not forget he also had the worst catchable ball percentage in the league by a ton. Out of his what 60 targets I believe it was only 33 percent of his targets were deemed catchable. And our of those 33 percent of catchable balls he caught 66 percent of them. He has to show up between the 20s this year no doubt. Is he a bust where he was drafted? Yes. But he's not a bust as far as a normal draft pick. Year 3 is always the breakout year for wrs anyways. He can be an elite wr2. As far as Sanu he was never worth as much as he wanted. And Jones wanted the opportunity to be a wr1. We offered the exact same contract.
No guarantee the team re-signs Boyd. They didn't re-sign Sanu or Marvin Jones.

Andy doesn't strike me as the type of individual that would divulge material to make a teammate look bad, so we may never know the statistical truth.There are wr1s in the draft for the first time in a few years. 2 in particular really grab ur eye and one that won't go till rd2 bc of the injury. Do Metcalf and nkeal Harry. As far as Ross, his catchable ball percentage was 33 percent 66 percent of those he caught. I'm expecting about 650-700 yards and 12 TDS.
Anyway, I feel like the team would be foolhardy to rely on John Ross for serious production, at this point. I think that he still has some developing and proving to do. However, I do believe it is time for the team to start planning for life post AJ Green. He's absorbed a ton of physical punishment over the years, all of those collisions and injuries add up. I would completely expect Tyler Boyd to be given at least a 3 year extension, as he has more than proven himself as a reliable go-to-guy, and even clutch at times. To run a prolific offense like they do in LA, they're going to need some extra receiving weapons. I wouldn't be surprised at all, if the Bengals add 1-2 receivers capable of threatening the starting lineup, either through free agency or the draft.
