Matthews is 26 and a FA I expect to get around $5M a year. He has worked his ass off to become a legit NFL #2 WR, clicks with Tannehill, and was one of the few working out with him in the last two off seasons at his own expense, while making NFL lunch money. Last year, he caught 43 of 61 targets for a 15.4 average with 4 TD's before being injured.
Stills is only 23 and gets $1.6m this year with no guarantee. He has more speed and is more of what you would like in a deep threat stretching the field. All QB's have said that it takes a year to click with a speed WR. Last year, he caught 27 of 63 targets for a 16.3 average with 3 TD's.
I would love to keep both, and neither has hit their prime. Add in Parker and Landry and we have a "Kiddie Core" at WR which can become lethal sooner than later. What is Gase to do?
I'm wondering if the best solution would be moving Cameron and going with more of a blocking TE. With these four "Young Guns" and adding in hopefully Miller with AJ, that one hell of a six pack on O for Tannehill. How many targets would Cameron get, and how much would a blocking TE help the run and protection?
