In my opinion, DT was only going to contribute an enormous amount under the nuclear scenario of AB not buying in AND Gordon falling off the wagon.
We could certainly debate about how likely it is that BOTH will happen, but maybe BB thinks the odds of a double implosion are low.
If he were capable of replacing Brown or Gordon in any similar capacity, there’s no way the Patriots give him to the Jets for an old tuna sandwich. If Gordon and Brown both got hurt, it would be Edelman, Dorsett, and Meyers with Harry having potential to step up big. I don’t think Thomas really makes them a better group in that situation. Deeper maybe, but he’s not going to be a #1 receiver who needs to be doubled.
That’s arguably better than last season with Slowwwwgan and a gadget guy in Patterson.
