On page 3 or 4 of this thread, I wrote "I am guessing $22m/3 years."  I was wrong.  Seriously--he was given an annual value of $6.8m on Spotrac and I read somewhere else that his value was around $9m per. It seems a bit steep, but I am not sure they had a lot of interest in many other free agent TEs...Dunno

Manhertz got $3m per.  TE is a position people are valuing more now.

Wow, that's way too much money for a middling TE in Hurst.

Easily could have gotten Gesicki for that number, I'd have been willing to pay a little more to get Schultz too, this feels like an overpay instead of using that money towards a WR or something.

Not a fan of this one

You think Gesicki is angling to be the 20th highest paid TE in the league right now?

I don't think he has much of a choice, I don't think there are many teams with the cap space left to give out big TE contracts at the moment.

If the top WR's in this FA class so far are getting $11 million a year, are you really giving that much up for Gesicki?

No chance

He's gonna get around $7 million a year in the end

Statistically he's about the 18th best tight end in the league. His contract is about the 18th highest annual average for a tight end.

Now I have 0 idea how he ranks as a blocker and would have to googl that.

Not his specialty but

With right tackle La’el Collins essentially out for the rest of the year, the Bengals might have to utilize Hurst in pass blocking more than usual. Hurst has averaged a 74.2 pass blocking grade in his last three games where’s been graded for pass blocking,

Maybe he'll be this team's Greg Olsen, former 1st round pick that didn't live up to his 1st round status until arriving in Carolina and suddenly becoming a top TE. One can only hope.

As far as the contract goes, what did you realistically expect? He's getting about $1.5 million more per year than Ian Thomas with an inflated cap. He's getting almost the same amount as Josh Oliver who had 14 catches for 149 yards for the entire year. That's definitely fair market value, if not a decent bargain for today's going rate.

Anything can happen but Greg's start to his career was much better than Hurst's (especially considering the eras) and Greg was 26 his first year here, Hurst will be 30 in August.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
