I can see us 365 days from now talking about how excited we are to see what he can finally do now that he's been elevated to the #2 WR role, unless this year is a total disaster for him.
I haven't studied the cap situation, but who else could be our WR#2 going into 2020? I'm not convinced Boyd would refuse all outside offers to stay here, if that's his option.
I am concerned that Ross will do just enough and stay healthy just enough in 2019 that the Bengals will think they can let Tyler Boyd leave after this upcoming season.
Then in 2020, Ross regresses or can't stay healthy & Boyd is gone.
I personally would not plan for Ross to be my #1 or #2 long term because I doubt his ability to stay healthy for a 16 game season plus Playoff games in one season.
I would sign Boyd and Draft stiff competition for Ross in the 2020 Draft.
