He's getting $5M in new money in 2013. At best, he's the #3 option in the passing offense. His cap number is higher than Gronk's or Hernandez'. Do you think he's more valuable than either of those two?
These decisions will obviously have to made with regard to the ultimate plan for the whole entire WR unit, meaning that they'll have to pretty much know what is in store with Welker and Edelman.
Since that may not be possible at this point in time, I'd have a hard time believing that they weren't somewhat impressed with Llyod's ability to quickly get on the same page with Brady and the rest of the offense--even if he'd played in a similar system before.
Another year in the offense may produce even better results, but keeping Llyod pretty much guarantees that there will be other options if someone gets hurt or Welker isn't retained. Some of you are acting like he was Chad Ochocinco part two last year.
The front office's inability to hit on a downfield threat to do certain things for this offense that Brandon Llyod cannot/doesn't do is not really Brandon Llyod's fault, is it?
