Better to get a wr replacement from the draft

We've got other places to spend money than on WR much less a possession receiver (although he is a really good one). 

Not a great FA receiver market, there are going to be a lot of teams over paying for moderate players.

Looks like the draft for us or a trade afterwards maybe.

The main reason I like Thielen is his nose for the endzone. He had more touchdowns in 2 recent relatively down seasons than DJ has had in his entire 5 year career... That's invaluable to have for a rookie QB. Although we'd still want to give him an explosive WR at some point for between the 20s as Thielen isn't that at this point in his career.

There's still DJ Chark.

I’d prefer someone that can take the top off the defense to open up everything else

Yeah, I saw that post about not needing to spend money on a WR and I was like... wait, what?

[Brooklyn 3.0]

I mean ... play with Mahomes or play with most likely Andy Dalton until the rook is ready.

No brainer.

As things are shaking out, there isn't. It's just that this year isn't a great FA market for receivers. And just because it's the best '88 Buick on the lot doesn't make it the best vehicle on the highway.

The tight market is going to make some mid-level guys rich and some bubble guys wealthy, too. I mean, someone is going to pay a Robbie Anderson guy too much money this season. I hope it isn't us, again.

I don't think any of is broken up about this news
