It seems pretty simple:

1. AHern will get less than Gronk. That's a given. Gronk's contract is worth somewhere in the $7-9M/year range depending on how you do the math, how many years he plays, etc.
2. The market for AHern is probably somewhere around $6-8M/year. Jermichael Finley is getting $14M/2 years currently.
3. The franchise tag for TE's is currently set at $5.5M. That will go up, but will probably not reach more than about $7M by 2014.

My guess is that if Hernandez is not willing to sign a long term extension somewhere in the $6-7M/year range, then he will likely get the franchise tag in 2014.

I just hope the pats don't see him as expendable. Because he opens it up for everyone..largely Gronk on the other side..

offer him a 5 year 24mm extension next season with like 13 guaranteed

Not a bad payday for #2 TE

On about 25-30 teams, Hernandez is a #1 TE.

On many of them, he's the featured offensive weapon.

His production for the Pats is probably better than a lot of #1 TE's

He probably wouldn't lose out much statistically, while still being able to get a decent payday.

Amongst Tight Ends Hernandez was ranked;

4th in receiving yards,
4th in receiving TD's,
5th in receiving first downs, &
5th in receptions.

I'd say he'd be a #1 Tight End on 28-30 teams.

That's what i am afraid of. He could/will want #1 money. You can't give that to two TE's...my biggest fear is losing him...

I'm not concerned. The Patriots pay players. I've no idea where the misconception comes that they're cheap because they are not.

If Hernandez is smart he'll stay with the Patriots. Making money is nice but being on a perennial contender is another thing all together. I'm sure a reasonable middle ground will be found.

They do pay...but paying players at the same position top $$...
