I think that Smith is wrong because we really need a big receiver and funchess is that big guy on the team.  I love DJ and Curtis but two fairly short receivers. 

Thats why you have TEs, see Patriots offense.

Yes, they could use a tall receiver who can use his length to win 50-50 balls. But Funch isn't it and trying to force him into that role is a mistake. That has been rather obvious lately. Time to cut bait on him and try someone else.

Funchess has had a rough middle of the season this year, but he's played well plenty of times in his career too. A WR trio of Moore, Samuel and Funchess is a good group with a really diverse skillset. If he's willing to take low #2 money then I think we should re-sign him. If he envisions himself as a #1 then he's both delusional and going elsewhere.
