TE salaries and yearly average.
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/average/tight-end/
Jarwin averages 5.5 million. McKeon averages 765,667. Ian Bunting on our practice squad averages 705,000. Dalton Schultz has been our starting TE for two years at an average salary of 728,060. He’s a young player still improving. When it comes to our offense, we say stats mean nothing if you aren’t scoring points.
- 78 receptions - 8 TDs - 43 first downs (Dalton Shultz) 2021
- 79 receptions - 6 TDs - 54 first downs (Ceedee Lamb) 2021
Sign him. Pay him. Don’t be stupid.
- which suggests to me that the fear threat of these WRs and this 1st half offense system works well to set up what Schultz does best (sit -settle in soft zone spots) and hides/limits what he
he doesn't do well (separate from tight coverage, deep seam middle)
- Opposing teams were willing to risk and surrender underneath soft zone coverages vs WRs flying free through their deep patrol secondary.
The defense would much rather risk a blown coverage for the underneath TE, ..vs blown coverage further downfield by the WRs.
- To Schultz's credit, he is easily among the toughest, most durable player we have on the team period.
He's there every game, takes a wicked licking but still keeps on ticking, We could never say those things about Jarwin
Still Schultz is limited, both as a receiver and a blocker. and opposing teams seeing more film will counter scheme vs his zone spots/roll out catches next year.
- With this supposedly being a good year for TE class in the NFL draft, i think i would have sought my long term TE there instead of being committed to a limited TE
