I glad he will get a shot elsewhere and probably even a bigger role and chance to play more.
I cannot say Hurns departure will be regrettable, if we manage to avoid the injury bug we'll be fine with Cobb and the young promising guys. And Its time we find out what we have in these young kids like Wilson, Johnson and Brown. I think we can get great production out of them if they stay healthy.
Heck, that was even a concern with Hurns durability issues, even prior to us signing him on in '18.
And while Hurns can lineup outside, he's not a stand out there. Unless he gets a careless CB sleeping on his double moves (ala Tenn game for a TD) he just doesn't have the flank speed
to consistently separate from those starting CBs.
Its not likely he was going to provide mismatches on the outside. He's savvy and crafty as an inside slot guy. That's where he really excelled as a former pro bowler with Jax (2005?)
Having to move outside, he quickly loses his effectiveness, according to his game log, with most of his games he averaged no more than two catches.
