Player evaluation = projection.
If it was as simple as just looking at everyone’s previous 34 games, well, shit would be a lot easier and the NFL would look a lot different.
Taking a player in Mooney’s situation with plenty of context to parse through creates opportunity at the right price. It’s not any different than when they grabbed JuJu following some down years and revived his career. It can happen. It’s not guaranteed, but if you’re not turning these stones over that’s just bad management.
I’ve said from the go he’s a one year deal guy. Incentive packed. Who I would sign to be my #3 WR to be a multi-level winner (primarily intermediate) to go along with a burner deep ball threat selected in the top-64.
He’s not getting $10m+ guaranteed, no. Bad timing and bad market for him. So you come to Kansas City and try to be another redemption story to have another crack at a big pay day next year.
