And the answer was no.
Because one thing in the NFL, unless you're a star slow guy, like a DeAndre Hopkins, a Keenan Allen, if you're not very fast and you don't create separation, but you are a good player, your value to the team that you've been a good player on is always infinitely more than it will be to the open market.
Because he can't get open, so I've got to scheme him open.
But he's never going to be my No.
1 wide receiver.
And on this team, obviously, he's going to be the 3rd best wide receiver with Jefferson and Addison.
But I actually think he's a pretty good scheme fit.
Because you can put those two guys on the outside.
You can put him in the slot.
And he can just kind of be a big body guy for Kyler to throw it up to.
He's a good 50-50 contest catch guy.
And in the run game, he'll block.
So I think they look at it and go...
We get a guy for relatively cheap because if it's up to $13 million, more than likely he's not going to hit it, especially in a situation where where are most of the balls going to get thrown to?
Jefferson and Addison, right?
So I think they just looked at this like a value stock.
And we get to buy low, and we get a winning player in a division that's going to be very physical.
It's going to be really difficult, and he's a physical player.
He's a guy that's been through some wars.
So I think for Jawan Jennings, you get an opportunity in a passing offense, because that's not Kyle Shanahan.
