Infam Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Wonderful news, very happy about it. 59M for four years actually sounds like a bargain, too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb235 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Not a great contract but it's hard to argue that he isn't a pretty valuable part of the offense. He probably gets the same deal in free agency, so we don't see any "hometown" discount, but I guess it keeps him happy. They could have franchised him for two years and saved a little, but I think that's an example of being penny wise and pound foolish. Kind of odd we are paying a tight end almost the same as our left tackle, and there's an argument to be made that both are ranked around the same at their position in the league, but if both guys are happy I can't complain.

Considering how the TE market is developing, it‘s less than I thought we‘d have to pay. 1 minute ago, NJWolverEagle11 said: Didn't the board hate Maddox like last year? Not me.

time2rock Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Cheap FO!!! Seriously, great work to keep a young playmaker in his prime around for the next few years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torymitch Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 According to OverTheCap, this is the top of the ladder for guaranteed money being handed to a TE. His yearly salary is 2nd in the league, making 250k less per year than Kittle. He has big shoes to live up to. He will need to be our Kelce as Davontae continues to ascend to the level of Tyreke Hill to justify this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the team was bad too.. Whenever he played slot he looked good, and that he had to learn the other positions ultimately is a plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hmm. I like keeping him, that was expected. Being the 2nd highest paid TE in the league though? He's also missed games the last couple years. Hope this works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how it goes though, bet if you look at it three years from now it will look cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torymitch Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Possibly. Darren Waller has a legit gripe for a raise, but he'll be 30 next year. Kittle, Kelce, and Mark Andrews were all recently locked up. Pitts needs to log 3 more years before he is handed a deal. Hockenson and Noah Fant likely raise the ceiling a bit, possibly Know, other than that it's a fairly empty cupboard at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheesesteakNBeer Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 We all know this was an on going negotiation. I believe these were the initial numbers that the Goedert team brought to the table. The length of the negotiations tells me Howie was trying to cut that guarantee number and the player wouldn't budge. It was either pay him what he wanted or risk losing a proven playmaker at the position and have to replace yet another position in the offseason.

He "hasn't done enough"? While playing behind Ertz, who they traded so Goedert could take over. Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
