He probably has a Rice trajectory where he spends most of the year as a manufactured touch guy.
I think he will probably be effective sooner than Rashee Rice was, simply because his skill set should have a more defined roll in this offense.
Reid and Nagy kinda had to figure Rice out last year, and find the way to take advantage of his skills and what he was good at.
Worthy, to me, is a better route runner than Rice, and Andy knows how to use speed like his, and he will probably plug into Tyreek's routes. That should make the transition easier. [Reply]

Let's say for the first half of the season he managed 400 yards receiving. Nothing exceptional but a pro-rated 800 yard season as WR2/3.
Then the rest of the season he gives you 250 yards (presuming that's when Rice is back and Worthy has caught up). So a 500 yard pro-rated second half of the season at a WR3/4 spot.
So you get 650 yards but it's more heavily weighted to when you needed him. Then in the playoffs he has 1 big game as WR3 where some mismatches underneath make him particularly difficult to deal with.
That's not worth $10 million. But it's probably worth $8 million?
He has value. And could maybe prove to have more value than $8 million if we have another blown tire in the WR room due to inexperience in the offense and Rice's Sammy Hagar moment. [Reply]

Sure.
I'd still try to bandage up and get that from Moore Toney Watson and save that 10 million. [Reply]
Ride Toney and Moore til they break or have mental breakdowns if you need any extra yardage on the side from your 5th WR. Get what you can from Watson.

Man, if that's the case, the Bucs will have done him dirty.
For a guy who's meant a lot to that organization and who's bounced back from injury nicely (an injury he suffered right as he was about to enter FA the first time), that's an awfully nasty way to treat him.
If you were gonna cut him, you could've done it prior to FA and then restructured some deals to cover the June 1 split. Or, I believe, you can still do a June 1 designation and let the guy pursue a new deal when there's still money out there to be made.
I just don't think they'd do him like that... [Reply]
