I like the deal. We obviously need some help at the position and I’m keeping my expectations in check. I’m not expecting this guy to come in and be Antonio Brown. I think he provides solid depth for us.

…

Adrian’s take:

The 24-year-old Randle caught 57 passes for 797 yards and eight touchdowns last season after hauling in a career-high 71 balls for 938 yards and three scores the year prior. Randle’s acquisition came a week after the Eagles brought in deep threat Chris Givens, who agreed to a one-year $740,000 deal last week.

Roseman has done a solid job of not overspending for average talent at wide receiver as this year’s free-agent class wasn’t highly regarded. The pair of Randle and Givens will make only about $4-million next season. Compare that to Mohamed Sanu, who cashed in with the Atlanta Falcons on a five-year, $32.5 million contract.

Randle has outgained Sanu by 551 yards and six touchdowns the past two seasons, and Sanu will be making an average of $6.5 million per year for the next five. Good move by Howie.
