Under normal circumstances, Danny wouldn’t be seeing many snaps with Edelman-Cooks-Hogan as the 3 receiving options in front of him (not including Gronk + RBs), but he’s an obvious no brainer in terms of providing great depth and injury insurance for a fairly cheap price.
He appears to like playing here (hello Lane Johnson) and has taken pay cuts to stay so hopefully he's back for at least another year. Thank you Josh for staying.
While I agree with your sentiment, very few get that opportunity. Willie didn't, Vrabel didn't, Big Vince didn't. Countless others too. I would venture a guess currently, only Brady is on that list.
