Chase was out last week and Thomas or one of the Trents didn't suddenly pass Hurst in targets. If Higgins demands a trade next off-season if he doesn't get an extension all of a sudden it will likely be a 2 WR 1 TE offense. If Hurst was better he'd be more highly prioritized.

It isn't bitching or dumping on a guy to point out an alarming trend that has held strong for 5 straight years when it comes to if he should be signed next year when he turns 30.

I get it.

Let the season play out and see if Hurst improves and stays healthy.

If he wants some huge contract, then absolutely they look elsewhere.

However, if he is older and not putting up numbers that warrant a big contract(as you have stated)then you'd think they could get him on a decent deal.

That makes him a depth piece and not necessarily their primary target at TE.

In other words.  I'd rather give him the money than Drew Sample at that point.
