He's gotta be better than Van Jefferson; seasoned vet.
I think that should be a high priority.

Good veteran to help the young WRs throughout camp. Given his dropoff in production, I'm not sure I keep him on the final roster.
Metcalf, Pickens, Austin, Wilson, Skowronek, ???

Perhaps Wilson is on the bubble..
I mean looking at that wr corp they were not exactly stacked on outside depth...

WTF? With a younger WR group and a lack of depth what exactly is the downside to this 1-year deal for a proven reliable veteran?

Same was said about Allen Robinson and Pat Pete. DK is the vet leader of the WRs, don’t get this signing at all.
And it’s actually not THAT young of a group.
DK, 6 years exp
Miller, 6 years
Skorownik, 4 years
Austin, 3 years
Pickens, 3 years
Wilson, 1 year
We need Woods to mentor Roman Wilson?
Perhaps, but you would think they would get someone other than woods in that case... Wilson is primarily slot...

His presence in the locker room will be a big assset. His entire career is about leadership. He haqs never made the pro-bowl or all-pro, but he has "Captain" experience. Well liked by all his fellow teammates.
He is known for his precise route running and attention to every detail (this is big and needed in our WR room).
2mil is cheap for what he brings to the table. he will make the cut, if not roster then PS.
Jefferson will be gone before Woods.

Keep in mind that if not the roster, then possibly PS. Either way it's a win even if just to work directly with George.

Yes and Austin and Pickens. He is a seasoned vet with real game experience. I don’t understand what you don’t understand about this signing. It is one year with no risk. What is the complaint?

Thank You
Thus my statement, Jefferson will be gone before Woods...
