What were they thinking???
The big plus for JJ was supposed to be his hands and his ability to win jump ball situations. We didn't see that last year. But, maybe with more confidence that will change. IDK.
Hopefully his route running improves this year. But, if it is an issue with slow acceleration, that may be a permanent problem.
As long as Alshon is healthy, JJ will see very little time IMO. He is basically a slower Alshon that has not quite learned the game yet. I doubt we see both of them on the field much at the same time, except for maybe red zone packages.
I kind of thought that JJAW was a possible surprise cut this year also. But, they may need to keep him because of salary concerns.

Losers: Teams with lots of guaranteed money tied up in 2021
While we're again months and months away from having any idea about what the cap will look like next year, there are teams that have to be sweating the possibility of a reduced cap. Take the Eagles, who already have $263.3 million on the books for 2021, much of it tied up in players who are core pieces of the roster. Getting down to $210 million would require a couple of restructures and cuts of veterans like DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery and Marquise Goodwin. Moving to $175 million would require another $35 million in savings.

The Eagles would find a reduced cap most difficult, but teams like the Saints, Falcons and Steelers would also be in compromised positions. Again, the league and players could come to terms on a deal that could restore some of the missing revenue, and the NFL would get a bump from a possible 17-game season in 2021, but the alternative looms as a dangerous scenario for several of the league's highest-spending teams."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"
