Honestly, if you're going to do this, I'd rather they commit to 2-3 years with some outs to protect yourself instead of just one.
If he does what you're hoping he does, then his rate goes up 50%+ and you're bidding against other teams, while also trying to pay Tyreek.
Ultimately, here's what I like - dude catches the balls thrown to him, plays physical and (hopefully) can take some attention away from 10/87.
What I don't - (and likely why he was only given 1 year) who the **** are we actually getting? Dude's career has been all over the place statistically - and you can't blame Ben when the other WR's there have produced.
I'm sure the usual suspects will try to twist this all up - but whatever. He's a warm body at a position of desperate need. If he plays like 2018 JJSS, he'll be a fan favorite but it's going to be a challenge to retain him. If he doesn't, we're only out $10M. Just a weird spot.
