For one year? Seems like a no risk, high reward move to me. If he plays at a high level again next season, give him his long term deal. If he doesn't, no harm since it was only a one year deal.
Tagging him is almost a no brainer for both sides, I think. Unless a team wants to pay him top 5/top 10 WR money for multiple years right now, which I don't think is happening.
Also, with Collins now signed, who the hell else on this roster would be worth tagging? Serious question.
Crowell is the closest thing besides Pryor.
Dont really want to tag either if avoidable. It pisses players off (see Cousins) who think they deserve top 10 long term deals.
Rather pay Pryor front loaded contract, use some of the money we saved on Collins and use the cap space we have now to pay someone else long term later. Win/Win to me. More guaranteed money for Pryor, less risk he leaves to me.
