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.

It doesn't matter if you don't bring him back but if you let your #1 WR walk, you replace him.
They didn't bother and took the $$$$ instead and used it to buy defensive depth players.
How do you go into a prime SB contending year and just remove $$$ from a weak WR room?
How do you not even call DeAndre Hopkins? Football gods dropped him off for Veach as the perfect JuJu replacement and he didn't bother.
The Veach regime has been mismanaging the WR room for years and their own mistakes and errors all caught them this year.
