LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 They were serious about wanting him here it would seem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I also think this all but guarantees Hooper is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The tag for tightends isnt too expensive, 10 million per year, I imagine they would prioritize Clowney over Njoku but the tag for ends is way higher. Smart move by Berry, Hooper is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see the analytics nerds keeping 2 TE and paying them elite contract money. That's asinine. Good riddance Hooper June 2nd I'd assume.

Bucketheadsdad Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Now I can feel Big Bird's pain from many years ago. Maybe we'll get the chance for Andrew Berry to meet up with these two young ladies, right after announcing Amari heading north? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaWg_LB. Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I'm not sure its "elite Contract" money....as the top paid TE's are making 14.x-15M dollars a year...so he's still 50% cheaper than then (if the tag number is 10.2M which is what I saw) I could see Hooper Restructuring.......or he gets cut. Njoku is the 1, I've been dying to see more of the kid we drafted in Round 4 the Mackey...Award Winner (1rst from non-power 5 conf)....and we still have Steven Carlson a good little TE in his own right....who was starting to develop before he got injured last year....develop into a solid NFL TE, not like he was about to turn into George Kittle.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be pretty surprised if we don’t draft a TE tbh. Njoku as a starter is cool, I’ve been wanting him to see hooper’s snaps for a while, but they need more than just Carlson and Bryant if we’re gonna run a lot of 3 TE sets. My guy Jelani Woods may have put himself out of day 3 reach with his combine, but someone R4-5 to start developing is a must imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I think the franchise expects a breakout season from Njoku, this buys them time to draft a long term deal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, he is a great option to have in the RZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie man Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 At least it’s not another hole in the team. Man we need some receivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and DPJ are the only receivers you can say that about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 It will be great of he can become a top 5-10 te and we get home for like 4 years 40 million. Cut Hooper, draft a TE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Good. This means Hooper is gone and we get another year to see if Njoku can really break out before giving him a big time contract. Let him be THE guy at TE this season, and see if he's deserving of a new deal or if we need to look for a new TE in 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
