I would pick up that 5th year, and I don’t care how he plays next year, I would not sign him under any circumstance. This is it.
there are dozens of TEs on the market every year we can pick up on a cheap 1 or 2-year deal who will actually play in the games and offer similar production. (Noah Fant (1 year; $2 mill) Allie-cox (1 year; $2 mill); A Hooper (1 year; $5 mill)).
