Hurst had a 8 yard per catch average last year because he was used as a checkdown tons 5-yard routes and sent 15 to 20 yards down the field very little. I know Hurst got paid after a year here but Foster's yard per catch was at 12 which is fairly high and if he drops to 8 yards per catch other teams could see that as production falling off. Zac talking to these TE and assuring them that they will get less checkdowns and more passes downfield could go a long way to getting one of these TE signed.
Two TE's considered very much below average pocketed $46M in contract dollars after a season with Burrow.... very doubtful scheme is this issue.
