Nerdy Football Analysis: The tag will guarantee Njoku roughly $11 million in 2022 if the sides can’t come to terms on a long-term deal. Njoku is still just 25 years old but hasn’t come close to his ceiling. His 36-475-4 line last season ranked him 23rd among tight ends in fantasy points per game. Austin Hooper is in the middle of his four-year $42 million deal signed in March of 2020.
