Nerdy Football Analysis: Hurns originally signed a four-year, $41M deal back in 2016 which after his release turned out to be two-year, $16 million deal. Yet another reason why reports of average dollars per year mean absolutely nothing. Hurns has missed 11 games the last two seasons but should be able find a home relatively soon. The Jags will move forward with Marqise Lee, Dede Westbrook, Keelan Cole and Donte Moncrief at wide receiver.
