He is a Texas kid and pure speedster who replaces Austin's game breaking ability. And we have a starting spot open.
I definitely agree though he'd have to pass a physical and that isn't guaranteed.
There are other WRs I'd rather have and I think that position has to be addressed if we release Austin but I tried to be very realistic about the state of our cap space and look for complete bargains. Others here have used 5+m per year guys as mid-level.
I look at him same as Columbo whom we also salvaged off the Bears scrap heap after time to fully heal.
