Really surprised by some of the posts in this thread.  Not sure why so many are against resigning him or don't think much of resigning him

  1. He's come in mid season and made significant and immediate contributions.
  2. He can also play ST.
  3. He wont cost much to keep as the 4th/5th WR. 

Unless the wheels fall off over the rest of the season, not only do I think we should resign him, I think we most likely do.  Personally, I think the WR's on the roster mostly likely to still be on the roster next year are obviously Kelvin and Zay plus DT.  From a talent perspective, Jordan has a case to stay, but he just doesn't fit with KB and ZJ as we need someone with more explosiveness and a down field threat.  

 

I think KB will be #1, someone NOT currently on the roster will be #2 either through FA or Draft with more speed, and Zay will play out of the slot.  Could also see ZJ still outside with the speed in the slot, but I think ZJ will be more effective there, especially if we got both size and speed outside.  I fully expect to see this FO try and get more speed on the field next to KB and ZJ this next year.

Benjamin, Matthews and Zay are all possession receivers, even though Benjamin is a level above them. We don't need three of them. Two will suffice. We need a speed demon playmaker type to complement Benjamin and Zay. 

Call me crazy, but Jones seems a lot faster than people give him credit for.

 

Seems sort of like when people fail to recognize a QB's arm strength because he doesn't have a cannon arm and is undersized.

He's reasonably fast but he's just not a deep threat. Two different things. He wasn't in college and so far hasn't looked good tracking the ball in the air.
