Hunter Henry, TE, Los Angeles Chargers
Franchise Tag Salary: $10.607 million
Status: When healthy, Hunter Henry is a model tight end for the modern NFL era. He can be that mismatch type of player, who can run from both linebackers, safeties and even cornerback alike. The problem is the health factor. Over the past few season Henry has missed a lot of time, including five games last year. But even in limited action, he found time to set career-high marks in catches, targets and yardage. Even more astounding is when you consider the great tight ends who have wore the powder blues, Henry already is a top ten player at the position for the Chargers in terms of receptions, yards and touchdown catches. That is exactly the kind of player you want in the huddle when you are transitioning to a new quarterback in either Tyrod Taylor or Justin Herbert.
Prediction: Extension reached.
