ADVICE

Budget Receiver Alternative: Tyquan Thornton

  • Consider signing a low-cost veteran receiver instead of matching a huge offer for Wan'Dale Robinson.
  • Tyquan Thornton is a one-year, budget-friendly target with deep ability and strong target metrics that can slot or play outside.
ADVICE

Cheap Swing Tackle Option: Josh Jones

  • If Jermaine Eluemunor departs, target an inexpensive swing tackle to compete with Marcus Bowe.
  • Josh Jones fits as a versatile, affordable option who can vie for the starting job or serve as swing tackle.
