He led the league in drops this year until he was injured and is still ranked 31st in drops after missing 8 games and playing in only 4
2018 5th year options for a WR picked in the top 10 was $13,924,000
2021 5th year options will be much higher after recent contracts
His 5th year option will cost north of $15M because he was a top 10 pick
He's averaging under 200 yards a season
He played with Sample in Washington
There are other fast WRs around and many can actually catch the ball
We can do better and need to do better
This is 100% correct. We could get the same production from a league minimum player. I know our "front office" doesn't use analytics but I guarantee Ross would grade out terribly on a purely moneyball approach.
