My issue has nothing to do with baggage or "losing a step". I don't think either of those things are true. You watch him in AZ last year and he still looked good to me. And i don't know what baggage people are talking about.
MY issue, is paying anything higher than a 4th round pick for a WR on the wrong side of 30 who has a history of being disgruntled with his contracts. The guy IS going to look around, see what other guys are getting and want a pay raise. That's just part of who he is.
For a 4th? Ok. Lets talk about it. Higher than that? For a player that is much closer to his decline than not? Who we then have to shell out MORE money for?
And again, i ask, when has Veach ever traded for a player of that age, with that kind of contract? I can't think of a time. It's kind of counter to how he's operated all these years.
