I strongly believe that Alshon Jeffery could be the missing piece of this offense, that he could take tremendous pressure off of the running game, off of Tony Romo, and off of Dez Bryant. I can't imagine anyone stopping this offense with Alshon Jeffery as a part of it. I easily think we would be the best offense in the league.
I think it would open things up for Beasley and even Terrance Williams in 3rd/4th receiver roles.
The problem though is that in all of this I think I've understated his market value. I thought receiver salaries were going to peak, especially after Dez Bryant's season last year. It's not just about his health, but Demaryius Thomas also didn't have the greatest season last year.
With the retirement of Calvin Johnson, I think the suitors for Alshon Jeffery (assuming that he isn't franchised) will be too many... You'll have Chicago, Carolina, Detroit, and probably New England scrambling for him. They'll all look to pay him top dollar.
There is no way he should make as much or more than T.Y. Hilton and that is 13 million per year. I'd actually be a lot more comfortable paying him around 11 million per year, but my guess is someone out there will give him the 13.5 to 14 million a year that other top receivers are getting and honestly that is too much for a WR2 who has some injury concerns...
Percy Harvin for a very cheap, per game salary might be worth looking into, but most likely this guy is done.
Any real attempt to bring in a quality receiver pretty much means Jeffery or bust. Drafting a player, simply isn't going to get it done in the time frame we have to win a super bowl.
