He was a JAG outside but better than average in the slot where he had a skillset of value that teams would pay for.
So NFL teams had his skillset valued at around 10 million a year for his prior level of competence. We knew he would be the #1 WR going into last year. There was no one we could point to this year.
Who is worth 10 million on this team as a veteran now?
No one.

I don't know about you specifically, but in the off season there wasn't a lot of love for bringing JuJu back at his market rate.
A lot of it no doubt had to do with concerns about his knee. A big deal, since Toney already came with big injury concerns and at that time he was expected to contribute when healthy.
If JuJu didn't have injury concerns, presumably he would have gotten paid more than 10 million a year.
In his first 8 weeks he totaled around 90 yards receiving. Sounds like a KC WR1.
He's had 13 games with less than 35 yards. I'm sure some of it is crappy QB.
