He’s gone over 500 yards once in his career, he gives you 300-350 yards a year most years. 
 

It’s better than Thomas for sure for he’s not terrific. 
 

I’ll take any starter upgrade I can get so this is positive news but it’s nothing to write home about. 

Agreed!

I'm hoping we pick up a TE in this draft with Superstar potential

Hayden Hurst, Darnell Washington, Tommy Tremble

What's the damage for cutting Ian Thomas...and whomever gave him that contract needs to be fire, wait, my bad.

Not great, but very solid signing. I'm so happy it isn't Gesicki, dude is super overrated

That’s a good bit of $

21 million for Hurst?

[GoobyPls]

Damn I wanted to draft a TE, judging by how much we are paying him I doubt it now

[UNCrules2187]

Woof, not sure about that contract given how slow the TE market has been so far?

[Jackie Lee]

I was expecting like $5M a year

could we cut a player worth 6mil against the cap this year and carry his 5mil dead cap over to the next year?

I dunno, I asking, seriously.

Just looked it up, based on AAV it's the 20th ranked contract among TEs. Similar to Tyler Higbee and Josh Oliver, less than Will Dissly, CJ Uzomah, and Logan Thomas. Not terrible I guess.

[stan786]

That feels in line with what TEs get right now, he's the 20th highest paid TE in the league right ahead of another guy who signed this off season in Josh Oliver.

Yeah Oliver is a blocking TE, only 149 receiving yards last year, and got the same deal.
