Great news, one of the better TE's in the NFL locked up.
Not bad! Maybe a very slight overpay, but not by much.

I don't get it?Who the hell are you and what the F did you do with Wozzy?
This is probably a two year deal with a third tacked on for cap purposes.So his first deal was 3 years for up $37.5m back in 2021, when he was 3 years younger and the salary cap was $182.5m. 2024 cap is 40% higher, max value of his new deal is 20% lower. Smells about right to me.

Roughly 13.5 AAV for him is a slight raise from what he was making, he's worth it. He played great for us even with a terrible QB situation.This is about right to me, good value.
I am guessing Henry wanted more, but once he saw that Schultz, who is the superior and younger player, got $13M per year, he had to adjust his expectations. Around $9M per year with the chance at $10M per year max value seems very fair.
Henry has been a great receiver for the Patriots and a very good locker room leader. His blocking is not elite, but it's not horrid. I think returning Henry + Pharaoh Brown and maybe kicking the tires on one more young free agent with upside like Noah Fant or Harrison Bryant would be a good plan. Lets them not have to worry about TE in the draft.
Eh, but do remember the team salary cap has skyrocketed this year. You could equate this deal to being more like 7 million per year in 2021.Well seems like we overpaid somewhat but the tight end options were pretty slim.
Agreed. I guess at first glance it seems like a bigger number than I was expecting but Henry has been one of the few steady spots on offense the last year and a half and without many other options in free agency and a lean TE class in the draft they needed him. A steady target for a (hopefully) rookie QB will make it worth it in the long run.Eh, but do remember the team salary cap has skyrocketed this year.

For an above average starting TE, I'm good with it.
