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

Seems that way.

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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
