New England Patriots — Hunter Henry
Base Salary: $9,500,000
Hunter Henry was one of two tight ends the Patriots splurged on during the 2021 offseason. Henry and former Patriot Jonnu Smith signed deals worth a combined $87.5 million during that summer. The pair combined for just two touchdowns last season, and Smith was traded to the Falcons back in March. Henry is coming off a rather pedestrian year — 41/509/2. His base salary of $9.5 million is the fourth-highest among all tight ends in ’23 behind only Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Evan Engram (franchise tag).
