He was the worst punt returner I've seen in pro football.
And his KR ability wasn't something you can't replace. Right now he's the #5 WR on this depth chart prior to finalized FA/draft. It's not nonsense to think he could be cut if he doesn't do anything at all in camp.
After last year I don't think I want him catching any kick offs or punts, tbh. He has terrible hands
then you really dont watch much football, vjj's problem was the muffs, not the actual returns...he didnt have this problem in college either so i fully expect he'll get another chance at PR duties....with herbert likley getting a bigger role on offense i dont expect him to be a KR this season.
replacing a top 3 KR average is not as easy as it sounds.
Poles took vjj knowing that hes raw and would take time to develop, knowing this you think he'll just cut him because he likes to waste picks? he will get another year...now after that i agree his spot will be in jeopardy...more than likely the bears will have 6 wr's on the 53 man roster, as you say vjj is 5th, who is out there is FA? noone worthwhile...could there be a pick in the draft that takes his spot? sure the possibility exists and in that case vjj will goto the practice squad in that scenario if he cant beat out the rookie.
