Then we spend years developing Dion Sims, and he finally starts showing some flashes of athleticism in 2016, and of course, Chicago throws more money at him and we won't match.
I was upset when we let Sims walk away. I know we tried to re-sign Sims, but they blamed it on him asking too much. When you look at the salaries now, Sims is getting $6M from Chicago, and we ended up giving $6M a year for Julius Thomas (also had to sign a blocking TE in Fasano for $2M). Who would you rather have for $6M a year? One was a complete TE, and the other is a lazy WR posing as a TE.
