[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 990222, member: 17987"] That's more or less how I'd read it. How many snaps would Lazard get in a WR room with Jennings, Jones, Driver, Jordy? OR so on... I said it elsewhere prior...the "average" 2nd-choice receiving option across the league posted about 60 rec, 725 yards, 4TD this season. Lazard finished with 60 rec, 788 yards and 6TD. But this was also arguably Lazard's career-best year and one in which he was ostensibly his team's #1 WR. In other words: Lazard's absolute best-case scenario is that of an average #2 WR. But how about when he is not getting "first-choice" targets/touches? Prior to this year (and excluding his rookie year when he hardly played) he averaged 53 targets, 36 rec, 480 yards, and 5 TD. Comparatively, the "average" 3rd-choice receiving target across the league this season? 66 targets, 42 rec, 510 yards, 3TD. So, again, more or less an "average" 3rd-choice receiver. And I'm sure other teams are fully aware of that. Are many teams going to be willing to give him "#2" money when his career thus far has shown that he's only a mid-range #2 in an absolute best-case scenario (and a mid-range #3 in most other situations)? I don't know. Contracts seem to be trending upwards so perhaps it happens but I sure don't see it for us. Ultimately I always think it's a question of replacement cost and/or value for the money. How much do you have to pay to get what Lazard brings to the table? Lazard got paid approx. 4m this year and I'm seeing projections for Lazard of 8m, 10m, even as high as 12m (Spotrac I believe). Just a random look around the league and you see the Rams paying Van Jefferson just 1.4m this year (24 rec / 369 yards / 3TD), the Falcons giving Olamide Zacchaeus 2.4m (40/533/3), the Chiefs with Juju making 3.8m (78/933/3) and so on. I guess it depends on how high a dollar value you put on the blocking Lazard brings to the table but if I'm putting together my roster I'd have a hard time giving him more than 5, 6, 7m tops before I start feeling like I can probably replace that production for less money elsewhere.
