No way he should get that kind of money. He just became our #1 last year. DJ could easily come in and put up his stats

Nah, Funchess is gonna get paid next offseason. All he needs to do is get around 700-800 yards receiving and 5-6 TDs.

Paul Richardson was the Seahawks #3 receiver and got $20 million guaranteed from the Redskins

I feel like this writer added some things in

Benjamin entered the Panthers locker room with Newton already established as Carolina's franchise quarterback and team leader. The duo hooked up 73 times for 1,008 yards and nine scores in Benjamin's rookie season in 2014. But after an ACL injury sidelined Benjamin for Carolina's Super Bowl run in 2015, the wideout amassed just 1,416 yards and nine touchdowns in his next 24 games played with the team.

Newton has constantly struggled with accuracy over his career and never finished with a completion percentage higher than 60 percent during the wideout's four-year stay. But the quarterback also won league MVP during the one season Benjamin was lost to injury.

While the Bills receiver told Graham that he's "trying to get past the past," Benjamin can't help but wonder how his career would've played out if he had been drafted by the Giants, Saints or Buccaneers, as fellow draft mates Odell Beckham, Brandin Cooks and Mike Evans had.

Not at all! I feel like I'm the best one that came out of that class! They were just put in better opportunities to have success," Benjamin said when asked if he was set back by playing with Newton and the Panthers. "If you notice, at the end of the day, my rookie year I was the only one to get to the playoffs."

Although Buffalo currently has a more dire QB dilemma than Carolina does, Benjamin has taken a liking to what the Bills are doing on offense, namely moving the wideout around and even playing him in the slot. "In Carolina, all they wanted me to do was line up at the X and take guys away from the play," Benjamin added.

Mike Evans? Don't the media always shyt on Jameis' accuracy :patrice:

Odell been bailing out the Giants offense since Week 5 of his rookie season

Mike Thomas made Brandin Cooks expendable

Those examples are questionable, he thinks he could have done the same in those situations? :jbhmm:

That last bolded quote seems more about Shula's stubbornness to evolve the offense
