But add up what you would pay for a dangerous punt returner annually, then a dangerous threat to go all the way at RB and gains over 8 per tote on average and often breaks off big plays, then a guy who does the same in the passing game.

He does three jobs.

10MIL is a fair price for what he does now, and he is going to get better.

All the people talking about "WR" need to wake up, he's not a WR. He's not a "gadget" either, or a "widget".

He's a solid contributor who scores TD's and puts his team in good field position for others to score or help the team.

10MIL for that? Sure who wouldn't.

Frankly I am blown away he signed, I was SURE he was going to take the tag then test the market.
