Signing him to that contract for 3 years. It was a head-scratcher then and remains so now.

I was wanting to cut him and save the $2M in cap room last year.  Instead of letting him walk and upgrading, we give him a new deal?  Joe Brady is gone, so the TE position actually exists again on this team.  Problem being, we simply don't have a receiving threat.

 Currently the 23rd paid TE by average salary. Whats head scratching about that?thar? That's got to be as low a contract as it gets for a veteran signed this past year 

Do you think he's anywhere close to the 23rd best TE in the league? I don't.

I honestly doubt he would've gotten anywhere near that on the open market.

Outside of Taysom Hill, who is now listed as a TE, this is the cream of the crop here.  There's about 8 more after this, then you get to Thomas.  So you have the top elite and top tier guys, second tier, then Ian Thomas?  I don't buy that at all.  He's getting TE1 money because that's where he's at on the depth chart, not because he's actually TE1 material.

Again, unless Baker totally craps the bed, I want Micheal Mayer in the draft next year.  I don't want to wait almost a freaking decade to fill Olsen's shoes like we did to fill Gross'.

this has been popping up over in reddit as well. It would probbaly be a player swap, like Robbie. Cowboys need a WR bad.. and we need a TE. I dont see this FO sneding out anymore picks especially early ones. 

I’m kind of thinking RA might have a good season with McAdoo’s offense and Baker’s arm.

I think people heard about this salary being high  but never looked at it in detail or with context.

Because he seems to have zero upside and large limitations at this point, so why sign him to that contract?

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
