Jerry Rice would seem to be excellent example of a guy that caught 65-85 passes a season late in his career that Julio has the body and work ethic to emulate. The guy is a freak athlete who is still a work out warrior. With Brown on the other side he doesn't have to be "the man" any more. It should help both of them. In reality it's going to open the middle of the field for the TE and slot to catch a zillion balls. They expect Josh Reynolds to be in the rotation to give each a break along with playing some slot.
His contract is 3 years and the last year has a team opt out. So in reality they are just on the hook for two years, which fits their window for this team to make a SB. Big time signing.
