How High is Too High for TE1 T.J. Hockenson? The Reason for Some Pause with a Major Deal

T.J. Hockenson, a great player, is looking for an extension.

In recent weeks, we’ve seen NFL tight ends snag nice deals. For Evan Engram and the Jags, the end result was a 3-year deal coming in at $41.25 million. Meanwhile, the Bears and Cole Kmet came to agreement that keeps the TE in The Windy City for 4 years and $50 million. Inevitably, these deals will impact the negotiations between Hockenson and the Vikings.
