I still don't think anyone would spend 4.6 million on him unless they had intentions for him to possibly play QB as well. That's not even close to WR3 or TE2 money unless in special situations. There were only 45 WRs that made over that in the league season. There were 21 TEs. Teddy made 7 million last year cause he is a proven starter in the league, Taysom is not. Other teams don't even know if they can even use Taysom in the way that we do. It'd be quite the risk.
