Wow. I would have just extended both to 2-year deals. $6.6M for both is a lot. And nobody is going to bite on either. It all but guarantees they are back.
Why would they sign that?
Security. If McKinnon plays well, Breida is cut.
McKinnon, pre-injury was neve as good as Breida.
As a runner, I agree. But he wasn't brought here for that. It was always going to be a committee. He was brought here so Kyle could build a playbook around his ability to be a receiver and stay on the field to pass protect.
The 3 things Jimmy badly missed last year to balance the offense was:
1. XWR - with deep speed to consistently open up players underneath and deeper 9's and post patterns (chemistry)
2. Slot WR / F - 3rd down machine like Trent Taylor used to be and a bigger slot WR with a massive catch radius and athleticism (Hurd)
3. Receiver Arby - Kyle literally built a playbook around this weapon two years in a row
