$9m isn't that much for a good TE still in their prime. If you don't want to spend more than $5m on a TE, then you're either going to have to perpetually draft guys on rookie contracts or just have bad players at TE. $5m puts them outside of the top-25 paid, with Kyle Pitts as a top-5 pick being the only rookie contract out of those 25.
Mediocre TEs are getting paid a lot, but good TEs are getting underpaid considering Jakobi Meyers and Allen Lazard just got $11m/yr at WR.
