MarlinTheMagician Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 We have a hole at 2nd tight end. Bean seems to like these cut players to fill holes. Would not count against a comp pick right? And only 27 years old. Wizard Beane is methodically filling holes. So far addressed guard, two run stuffing DTs and a back that will help in passing game. TE, along with Corner, WR and Edge are my remaining hopes for FA and draft. Hooper would fill one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 This is to make room for the Njoku $$$ they are about to hand out I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Just now, MarlinTheMagician said: Tagged Njoku I believe. Yes, but the report was that Cleveland was going to throw a crapload of $$$ his way to keep him long term. They probably didn't want to pay 2 TE's that kind of $$$ so Hooper was shown the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Would be a TE2 upgrade for sure. Not Gronk, but if Gronk is going to Tampa (freaking Brady) then it makes sense to get someone like Hooper here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Is he willing to sign for less than Ian Thomas? If so sure. If not than just draft a guy in the 4th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The browns are hilarious. They only saved about 3 mil on this deal. He's gonna be a pat by the end of this though right? Curse of Baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Reading up on him, seems he is pretty elite as a receiver. Two Pro Bowls when he had matt Ryan throwing to him. Gives good effort as a blocker but needed improvement. Stanford man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's going to be hilarious is when Deshaun says no to the Browns, Baker refuses to play there, and they end up with Jacoby Brissett as their starter.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Seems like a JAG who got a nice contract from the Browns in a thin Tight End class. Doesn’t stretch the field and not a good blocker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I like Gerald Everett as TE2. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not than just draft a guy in the 4th round. What did Thomas sign for? Not sure you can compare them. Thomas has caught 90 balls in 4 years. Hooper caught 71 in a single season. Knox, who is my one of my faves and my #1, only caught like 48 or 49 in his best year. They are all about the same age (Thomas 26, Hooper 27 and Knox 25).

Logic Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Legitimately good tight end. 3,000 career receiving yards, 24 TDs in six years. Only 27 years old. Someone’s gonna pay him $9M. Won’t be us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hooper can stretch the field. I like Everett and the guy from Indy too though. If he gets $9 million I say no, but each day that passes . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 So the browns made him the highest paid TE in football (at the time), barely used him in the passing game, and then released him so they can afford the franchise tag for a TE that has averaged 22 yards per game the last 3 seasons. Lmao. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
