Kittle, Waller, Hockenson, Kelce, Goedert, Andrews, Engram, Njoku, Knox, Jonnu Smith, Kmet, Henry, and Taysom Hill all make $10 mill or higher APY.
Higbee, Logan Thomas, Will Dissly, Uzomah, Hurst, Josh Oliver all making $7 mill-8.5 mill APY.
Conklin, Schultz, Juwan Johnson, Gerald Everett are in the $6-7 mill range.
If you think Hudson can be as good or better than Conklin, Uzomah, Everett, and the like, ya might have to be willing to pay.
Hudson is already 29 years old and hasn't really gotten any kind of even decent contract to-date, so I'd imagine he'd want to capitalize while the iron is hot and this might be his only decent-sized contract.
With that said, he does only have 1 year of proven production and he fits well in this offense, so I think (or hope) he would be willing to stay for $3-5 mill.
I'm betting Uzomah will be looking for a job next season. Jets save $5 million on a contract that hasn't come close to paying for itself
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
