In Reality He is not more expensive than Welker...only $10 mil is guaranteed of the $31 mil....and that is for 5 years.
So if he doesn't pan out after 2 years and they launch him...it is still cheaper than Welker.
Not saying it was smart to get Rid of Welker.....but this kid could pan out as a decent replacement.
Team him up with Gronk and Hernandez....and IF they can ALL stay healthy....we should be fine. Just don't expect him to be Welker...he could turn out to be as good as Cruz though, now that he has a Solid QB throwing to him.
Their Achilles is still the secondary....and they haven't shown anything in the way of fixing that.
