, the Cleveland Browns have released veteran tight end Austin Hooper from his contract. The cap-clearing move was designated as a post-June 1 release but will save the Browns nearly $10 million in salary cap relief. Hooper may sign with a new franchise of his choice immediately.
Hooper now reaches the open market as one of the more intriguing dual-threat tight ends available. Hooper failed to reach the heights he achieved in Atlanta prior to signing a lucrative contract with the Browns but remains a quality player that can impact both the passing game and rushing attack. A quality pass-catcher and run blocker, plenty of NFL offenses would benefit from having Hooper on the field.
The returning Swaim secured just 31 receptions for 210 yards and three touchdowns last season. Firkser"led" the position group with 291 receiving yards. These are less-than-desirable numbers that must receive a bump in production in 2022. Head coach Zac Taylor demands a lot from his tight ends. It's partially what made Uzomah such an effective player in 2021. The ability to catch, run, and block while playing multiple positions and out of multiple formations is extremely important in Cincinnati's offense. Hooper is the type of talent that could thrive in a similar role.
