so he is being paid as a #1 WR instead of a bottom tier #2.

Given that, the statement that should be made is this:

Woods is a WR that has struggled his entire career and delivered very little. But by many experts, he runs good routes and has good hands. And the Buffalo offense is dreadful with bad coaching and a below average qb, so we believe it is worth overpaying a little to take a peek on how he could do if he has better coaching in a different environment.
