Hooper and Henry are only 25 so while the top 5 TEs make 7.5-10M AAV, those guys are 31.
Hooper and Henry also are excellent blockers and getting a dual TE is big for me. We saw with just a pass catching Jordan Reed, it effects the packages you can run and gives pre-snap tells to the D.
I before said I wouldnt pay more than 10M per for Henry or Hooper ... but I might go to 11 range honestly. Maybe even 12 if it ends up being effectively a 3 year deal with a team friendly out.
TE market is about to be set imo. Its because these 2 guys are young and fit the en vogue model of being dual pass catch/run block.
