Why is Adams more than Godwin?

Man, 11m$ for all these TE’s is a hard bargain for me. So much money for above average players at the least important position.

~80 receptions and ~800 yards for Schultz is hardly “average” for a tightend. If you don’t value the position, that’s you’re on prerogative, but he’s probably a top 5-7 guys right now. Which is right where he’s being paid. If they extend him during the season they drop that cost and he’s a hell of a deal.

As the saying goes, that’s the price of poker these days. A new reality.

Tagging a TE seems silly to me. Unless they're generational, it's like tagging a back up WR.

A franchise tag is 1 of two things:

Top 5 money at your position….

OR

A 20% raise over what you made the previous season.


This tells us that Davante made ~16.75m$ last year

It’s not really about the money. It’s about extending the time to be able to work out a longer term deal.

The problem with this thought process is that yards are great, but a TE isn't just a receiver. Again with the fantasy points. Teams need a guy who is a strong blocker. Which he's just not.

Hey, I did say above average. You think he’s top 5-7?

He's not that good. Offer an extension or don't. The problem with this front office it this is how they think - "It's not about the money."
Its ALL about the money. Case and point - we can't keep the better players because we over extend average ones and get no return.

Teams with good coaches put TEs like Schultz in position to chip and make plays from the LOS off the line.

Do they need him to be a better blocker? Absolutely.

Do they also need him for those tough yards and big third down grabs? Absolutely.

It’s not like he’s even getting top-3 money. He’s getting top-7 money. It’s chump change for a starter, really.

Its the egregious overpaying to other guys that is the issue.

If it were me I'd pay my back seven on defense, the offensive line, a QB, and one WR. That's seven on defense and seven on offense. The rest of the guys can be role players. But that's just me.

 

[texbumthelife]

I think he’s easily at least the 7th best receiving TE in the league.

agreed top 3 TE stats , top 7 money daks qbr with him as target is tops in the league

i mean seems like an easy decision.

Im all about the Dline. If they had 4 of the 5 biggest contracts on the team with the QB that’s A-okay with me.

stats say 3rd stats don't lie we had a lot of alternate targets and he still performed well.

Fully agree guy is 6'5" 260 who battles over the middle and is a safety net,

He's still top 10 when you factor in the blocking, probably still around top 5. There are only 3-4 guys that do both really well. But for me the question is this. Did Schultz really catch so many passes because he's that good or is he really just a solid/ average pass catcher on a team where the QB chooses to dump it off to him instead of pushing to a wide receiver? Our game plan never seems to be get it to schultz or create opportunities based off what he can do its more the qb needs to get rid of the ball quick and the wr's aren't open enough so lets dump off the ball to schultz who is a short throw away. We don't use him like travis keclie and some other TE get used, he's more safe last ditch effort to get a few yards kinda guy. And to me that is someone you replace unless they are really cheap.

people in hear whining about Schultz and The Browns franchised Njoku... that shocks me.
