I think DA is slotted to be our #3 WR this year. I' sure Davis will get a few reps, but it looks doubtful that Jacoby is even part of the plan. I don't think that this contract is outrageous for the role he is likel to fill for this team this year. I do think the Texans didn't play their hand well with the low tender.

But the high tender was 1.5 million a year and that is what they got him for. How is that a bad deal? And the gauranteed money is tiny. Not to mention if you sign him as a RFA for a year he hits URFA next year and probably receives another raise. There is no way the deal he got is worse for us than the high tender would have been.
