Added compensatory pick potential, why not? We are in the business of buying draft picks. He may need to play a few downs to show his next team he still has something to offer.
Wouldn't have made much sense from a player archetype perspective, IMO. Preston Williams and DeVante Parker are both big-bodied, jump-ball redzone threats. The offense needs a lot of things, but it doesn't need another of those. Not worth the risk, anyway.
