If Hudson could compete against a signed veteran for TE1, then we're admitting we signed a terrible veteran and just wasted money. No Irv Smith Jr part 2s, please. I don't want our starting TE to be the 5th best TE in the division with a healthy gap between them and 4th.
I don't hate Hudson or Sample on the roster for depth. Key word being or. I don't like having both because then you've just nearly recreated the 2023 TE room as you're only likely going to have 3 guys active on gameday and you're likely not going to have a guy you paid in FA (both of them are FAs) a healthy scratch. I want some roster churn at the position to make it actually look different. Give me a veteran with proven production and a rookie with potential both along with one of those two guys.
I don;t believe Fant is worth projecting 3 year 27 to 30 million, what Hudson did once he started getting real snaps and finally getting a true chance was good enough to sign him and compete next year for Starting TE and I prefer to look at draft over Fant at that price... now if we can sign him for 2 year 12 to 16 million possible.. i just don't see the production from him of late to warrant a bigger contract. I prefer Hunter Henry i think we can get him for a better price
