I'd just like to start building more continuity.
There are always guys like Hardman and James who slip through the cracks in FA and land somewhere on 1 year deals. They're cheap flyers.
The issue is that if they hit, you pay a hell of a lot more to retain them the following couple of seasons OR you let them walk and you're back to playing WR roulette.
I don't think he 'earned' even the $4 million/yr that O.City suggested. I simply think you have to pay a small premium to get a younger player to sign long-term coming off a down season. It was a premium we weren't willing to pay last off-season and maybe we still wouldn't be.
But that's what you have to do for a long-term deal. And I think having a little throughput over the next couple of seasons in the WR room would be awfully nice.
