To me, regardless of Treadwell's dead cap hit, you have to move on from him with the talent influx of guys like Beebe, Taylor and Bisi Johnson/Badet.

Even if he is, say, 5th or 6th best receiver on the team, you have to consider upside into the decision as well. And he has none.
If the decision is made. .why take him to camp at all?
Not that I'm against it. She is just projecting here. Did I miss a source in this article? She says they move on. I didn't see sources say they move on from.

Did any of the 1st round WR's do well from that class? I recall reading something about what a bust it's been in rd 1?

Kinda like the year of the QB when ponder was drafted.

Nope...Will Fuller is contributing and got his option year, but he's been a big disappointment. The rest (Coleman, Doctson, Treadwell) have been flat out busts. All three of the receivers taken in the 2nd round (Shepherd, Boyd and Thomas) have been far and away the better receivers.

That year?? I don't think so.
I do know none we've drafted 1st in the last 20 years seen a 2nd contract with us. That's pretty sad.

It might only seem fantastic in comparison to the men we've paid to do just that.
Treadwell's production was soooooo low; I think you can cut him simply pretending you're paying his cheaper replacement that multi-million dollar deal while taking some solstice in knowing production at the position can only go up.
