SunnySide 02-25-2020, 02:04 PM Per Spotrac, Hooper’s projected market value in 2020 is a yearly salary of approximately $9.9 million. Based on his recent performance coupled with the current tight end market, Spotrac has Hooper signing something similar to a five-year, 49.9 million contract next season. The Bears could absolutely swing that, especially after their recent roster moves.

F the Bears. They have $27M in cap space while we have twice that amount. We can and should go hard after Hooper. I don't care what the Bears do. The Bears can have our FA leftovers.

How hard do we go?

10M for Jimmy Graham is the top AAV for a TE. market seems weird, only 3 making more than 9M AAV, 6 making 8M AAV or more .. but they are all older.
Henry and Hooper are 25. I dont think you can use a 34 year old Jimmy G, or 31 year old Kelce, Ertz, Rudolph etc as comparables.
Dang, the TE market may take a huge jump with two 25 old year players entering FA with teams in demand (assuming Henry makes FA).
---------------------
Legit may take 13M or so to get one these two. Looking at the age of the other top tier TEs and the fact that both of these two can block and catch .... FA is going to be crazy this year.

Skins will target 3 high profile Free Agents IF they become available:
1. Austin Hooper - Obvious
2. Kenyan Drake - WTF....I like the guy but why bring back AP. Or even draft Love last year?
3. Amari Cooper - Makes sense

Rivera didn't draft Love, and let's be honest, DG, CT, BL, all with injury histories. I have zero issue bringing in a RB.

Nice find Chico. Hopefully vets start getting cut and leaks start sprouting. Im ready for some news ... or unverified leaks at this point.
I want Hoop,fine with Drake .... will have to find a way to convince myself to like Amari Cooper if he comes here.

Totally get it. Look rb is the most injuried position in the game. I like drake a lot...just depends on the contract imo.
I’d like us to take care of our guys as well and like to know the Oline plan with so many questions there before you give several huge deal for skill players.

I had heard Cooper for a couple weeks now, It makes perfect sense and would be a HUGE sign for us. Can you imagine Terry and Amari together? Yikes.
Hooper for sure and Drake is a all purpose back that can catch it well, Turner loves those guys

I didn't even consider of Drake when thinking about Redskins' (or mine) FA wish list.. It's tough to figure out Drake - Drake didn't do much with Miami beside a few great games (alot of this is because of coach Gase) and then did fantastic job with Arizona except for a couple of games where he didn't do anything. Because Redskins do not have a reliable RB who can make big plays, I can understand why they are looking into Drake. I wouldn't be upset if we sign Drake although I wonder if this would mean we will cut Peterson or perhaps Bryce Love. Or keep 4 RBs on the roster.

We'd all love for Guice to be that guy but he can't be relied on. So the team really has to go out and look at options, the draft is light for RBs this yr , Peterson is 34 years old, I think Drake makes a ton of sense
