You think that Hunter Henry and Judon are misses? So far, Jonnu is the miss out of those 3.Right, but 3 of the 5 you listed are misses imo and you can't get out.
Hopefully things are better next season.
Then we have 2 guys going into the last year of 2 year deals. Agholar ($10M dead cap) and relatively cheap Godchaux (5.25M dead cap). Of those two, I'd call Godchaux cuttable. Agholar isn't unless he has a mad girlfriend or something like that. Seriously, $10M to make a roster space is a little rich for my blood, and I don't think he's that terrible. The 20-somethingth highest paid receiver in APY, down in the middle class pack. I'd like to see more from him than we are, and I wouldn't be surprised if we do, given this will be his 1-year-in-the-system, show-me-something year. But he might not have it in terms of the Pats system.
So if you want Godchaux gone, okay, it's not free but it's not a crisis. He gets out-competed, que sera sera. Agholor, well, I want to make sure there's nothing there, for a $10M dead cap hit. I mean, barring a mad girlfriend. Or trainer. Or whatever. You don't want to get into the sunk cost fallacy, but his cost is structured to be sunk. On the other hand, if he wants to see another payday, here or elsewhere, it's time to make it happen. I find it hard to believe we'll have such an overflowing cornucopia of WR talent that we don't have room to keep him just in case he doesn't suck.
473 receiving yards, 12.8 yard average per rec., 3 TD. He's WR3 production for lower tier WR1 pay. If he stays that, he's done, at least in that pay band.
