I mean, you do realize that by cutting Uzomah we're can pretty much pay for another Tight End, right? (Doesn't affect our ability to fill other holes whatsoever)
You can trade for Evan Engram right now (probably a late round pick) and spend an extra 700k vs. what you're saving from CJ. (CJ saves 5.3 mil, Engram costs 6 mil)
I wouldn't be surprised that once Kyle Rudolph's 2 years "up to 16 million" deal's details get released that we'll find he's making under 6 mil per in 2021 either.
As far as the draft, I'm not so sure I have a lot of faith in Duke Tobin to land a decent one unless we go Pitts. Here's our TE draft history past the 1st round since he's been here:
Brad St. Louis (7th)
Sean Brewer (3rd)
Matt Schobel (3rd)
Matt Sherry (6th)
Chase Coffman (3rd)
Orson Charles (4th)
Tyler Kroeft (3rd)
CJ Uzomah (5th)
Mason Shreck (7th)
Drew Sample (2nd)
To each their own, I wouldn't count on landing a legitimate starter in the draft unless we take Pitts.
