Does this spell the departure of Hooper? Seems like a lot to pay two TE's - $10M+ each?
Well, we paid 2 overrated/overpriced WRs a total of $30M in 2021 so who knows?
Secondly, it might not even play out like this. Njoku could strike a long-term deal paying him a lower amount in the first year. Or they could restructure Hooper as well.
I think there are a few options on the table to consider.
