Maybe I missed it, but why? Then we draft a WR…

Because they didn't want to give him $34 million dollars guaranteed

His contract was up at the end of the season and we’re shifting focus and funds on extending Olave. Sheed was fun here and a valuable all around player but he signed a 3 year $51 mill contract that he’s probably not worth. Tyson’s ceiling is massive comparatively and his contract will be longer and cheaper

1) we sucked, we had 1 win at that point. We were obviously not in win now mode.

2) his contract was ending and we weren’t going to pay him

3) he was one of the few players on a losing team that other teams would offer something for.

Because one is getting 17m per year to be a deep threat and a punt returner, and the other is getting 8m per year to be a complete #1 receiver.
