The free agent tight end market has seen several players receive contracts below their projected values. This could be advantageous for the salary-cap-strapped Green Bay Packers.
Excluding Evan Engram, who received the franchise tag from Jacksonville, five tight ends from PFF’s top-200 free agents list have received new deals. Four of them are below what was projected.
Dalton Schultz, the top tight end on the market, ended up signing just a one-year deal worth $9 million when he was projected to average $14.5 million per year on a multi-year contract.
