It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Think he had a monster game against SF that year.It always perplexes me when posters talk about the Lloyd season like it's an old shame and pretend he gave an Ochocinco-like performance. In reality, he gave us some of the best production from the WR2 role we've seen this decade.
If you count this year's salary the average is just under 15 but if you just count the new money the average is 16M. Wow.
Happy for Cooks but I think the Rams are going to regret this.

Did any of you see a $16 mill WR running routes for the Pats last year? I didn’t.
I thought cooks was starting to build chemistry with Brady until he got hurt. It’s a shame he couldn’t be here for his coming year. So whose our deep threat this year?
Reports are that the Patriots tried to work out an extension with Cooks, but couldn't reach an agreement. If the reported numbers on this contract are mostly real, we now know why.
As for the deep threat this year, it remains to be seen. It's still not out of the realm of possibility that Hogan ends up being that again.
Well i am hoping matthews has a big year. He took a 1 year deal. Hope he can put up big numbers so he can get paid.
Lloyd was ok but he is not in Cooks league. Lloyd had one great year and 2 decent ones. His catch rate is not great and his YAC (at least while he was here) was non existent. Decent complimentary piece in the right system but IMO he is softer than Cooks on top of it. As mentioned, a good option 2 in the right system.
Lloyd has 9 seasons (and he was only in the NFL for 11 seasons) where his catch rate was lower than Cooks WORST rate which was 57% (last year). And Cooks is a down field threat while Lloyd was not as much.
Lloyd has SIX seasons under 50% catch rate.
I'm not sure he's the same type of receiver (downfield threat) that we're discussing. Matthews has been more of a short - intermediate route runner with a career yards / reception of under 12. He's likely a decent fit in the slot, but probably won't clear out coverage like Cooks.
