There's only so much room in the middle of the field!
In all seriousness though, Njoku has been maybe a little better than Uzomah, but not much.
If Njoku really does get $10 mill, we might need to seriously expect Uzomah to get offered $8 mill by someone.
I think they cut Hooper as a post June 1 for a pretty substantial cap savings to essentially move his money to Njoku. They already have Hunter Bryant who is arguably as productive as Hooper.
I said in another thread I think CJ probably does end up in the 7-8 range per year only because as the cap goes up the salary of players, even average ones, trend upward. The other option is we go with a Jared Cook on a one year deal and head back to the draft, which does have a decent amount of pass catching TE’s in the 2nd/3rd.
