Corey Davis to the Jets

[Wolverines Fan]

 

Sam Darnold now has Mims, Crowder and Davis.

 

Ryan Tannehill has A.J. Brown but lost Davis, Smith and Humphries.

That's a big contract for a guy who hasn't broke 1,000 yards or 5 TDs in a season. This signing must mean that Darnold is definitely gone. Because if not wouldn't you trade out of 2, stockpile picks and get Ja'Marr Chase, Pitts, Smith or Waddle?

984 yards in 14 games (12 starts) is pretty close to 1000.

 

He's a very talented WR, played on a team that was focused on running the ball and has ProBowl WR AJ Brown getting lots of balls. 

 

One real positive I see is an increased catch rate every year, from 52% as a rookie up to 70% last year.

 

Doesn't seem like an outrageous contract, look at what other WR are making on average per year with recent contracts. The $27M out of 37 guaranteed seems like a larger than normal percentage.

What I find odd is that they don't have a QB. This has to mean they're staying put and drafting a QB at 2 or working on a trade for one? No? Because they can certainly get a stud WR in this draft.
