That offer is more than fair.
Ayuck is not as talented as either jefferson or st. brown. He wouldn’t be the #1 WR on the eagles or the cowboys and who knows how he would stack up on the bears’ roster. Inside the NFC west he would be the 4th best WR at best, behind Kupp, Nakua, and metcalf. And don’t look now, but zona drafted a kid in the 1rst round who just might turn out to be pretty good.
Not so sure ayuck fares much better when compared to the AFC. He wouldn’t be the #1 guy for the bengals or steelers (tough call with the QB play in Pittsburgh). Would he be the #1 guy in Vegas? On the texans? He might not even start for the dolphins.
I just don’t see ayuck in the top ten and deserving that type of payday.
Greed and ego might see it differently.
