#6 Larry Donnell, TE (27)

2016 Cap Hit:$1,671,000

It seemed like just yesterday when we all thought Donnell’s career was done after a lingering neck injury suffered in the New Orleans Saints game that cut his 2015 season short. Then, Larry’s medically cleared to play and signs a 1 year contract that includes an average annual salary of $1,671,000.

With the emergence of Will Tye in Donnell’s absence as the primary pass-catching tight end, how will Ben McAdoo make room for both on the field? You can’t deny “Baby Gates” captured a considerable amount of fan support as an undrafted free agent out of Stony Brook in his first season of serious action. Can the two co-exist when the targets are shared? It’s a good problem to have. And with fullback / H-back Will Johnson jumping on board, blocking won’t be so much of a bear.
