Core has never had more than 200 yards receiving or 1 TD in a season. He's still on the team.
Josh Malone has 75 career receiving yards and 1 TD. He's still on the team.
Auden Tate has 35 career receiving yards and no TD's. He's still on the team.
Alex Erickson has never had more than 180 receiving yards in a season, nor more than 1 TD. He's still on the team, although he is the primary return man if we're being fair.
As much of a disappointment as he's been, nobody behind him has been able to take his job. If you were going to entertain the thought of cutting the guy, you can't do it unless someone grabs that #3 job by the throat. Nobody has.
You don't cut a guy on a rookie deal with 7 receiving TD's, whether he's a #1 overall pick or an UDFA. If you give Auden Tate Ross's stat line from last year, people would be screaming for him to start.
