Ian Thomas Contract Details (also TE market is HOT)

He's very replacement level though and we just drafted Tremble who showed a lot of promise. It's not as bad as it initially seemed and I understand the TE market but I just don't understand why it was a priority to re-sign him. I don't think he would've gotten this deal on the open market.

Maybe McAdoo wants to run some 2 TE sets? Thomas Tremble?

Manhertz got signed for the same amount last year, and he was utilized in the same way as Ian. Blocking TEs are a hot commodity in the NFL. Weird with the way the league is evolving.

They are hot because there's not enough olinemen worth a tinkers damn in the league.  Five on four isn't cutting it for a large majority of the teams in the league.  So they are going 6 on 4 just to give the qb another half second to throw the ball.

Thomas isn't a great blocker and Manhertz got 2 years $6M, that's nearly half as much as Thomas got...
