Would we bring in a former top WR who is recovering from injury for a show-me year at vet minimum? Of course we would. IMO, we need to understand the concept of dead money.
We have Shuster who has been injured and is still recovering. Last year, he performed at the level of a #4 WR. Of course, we didn't have anyone in front of him other than Douglas, so a #4 trying to be a #2 didn't look great.
It costs us ZERO for Shuster to be our #5 WR. He could work out much better, even this year, but there is a place for a #5 receiver competing for more reps. The bonus is that after a 2024 show-me year, we have a contract for an additional year at $7M with no guarantees.
We should carry 6 WR's if we must. There is a reasonable chance that Shuster will be good enough to be our #3 this year, or at worst #4.
