Re: Njoku wants out
In addition to getting the WR's involved more, I also think there's a lot of room to get our RB's involved even more in the passing game, especially given that 3/4 (Hill, Ingram, Dobbins) should be/are pretty special receiving backs. I think Roman alluded to the fact that we'd see even more formations this years, so yeah; the Ravens brain trust knows what they are doing. No way they let Hurst walk if they think it severely impacts their ability to be effective on offense. And I think with the year they just showed us, the draft of EDC this past year, they have a lot of leash, at least from me.

Re: Njoku wants out
I think that depends on what "kind" of TE you are taking about. Njoku is a pretty special talent as a receiving TE. He'd be in whatever top 10 or maybe even top 5 list of guys like that. Boyle is a 6th offensive lineman that can catch and is a critical contributor to the #1 rushing team in the league.
The better comparison is Njoku to Mandrews, there you can have a debate.

Re: Njoku wants out
I don't really see where all the love for Njoku comes from.
Receiving TEs better than him: Andrews, Ertz, Kelce, Kittle, Ebron, Hooper, Cook, Gronk, Waller, and Higbee. By the end of the year it wouldn't surprise me if guys like Geisicki, Goedert, Engram, and old friend Hayden Hurst haven't passed him too.
He has a low catch rate, despite playing in a offense loaded with weapons. If you're a believer in DVOA, he's actually really bad.
Bottom line, he had one marginally above-average year, and now he is coming off injury. Seems to me like some people haven't gotten over the love they had for him coming out in the draft."Chin up, chest out."

Re: Njoku wants out
If there is a normal number of games this year, Hurst will have 1000+ yds and 10+ TD's in that Falcons offense.

Re: Njoku wants out
Mandrews almost surpassed Njoku’s 3 year career stats last year. I wouldnt say that is a comparison.
Mandrews is the 3rd best TE in football, Cleveland went out and upgraded the position despite having Njoku. He might have too 10 tools, but his hands, brain and health are barely rosterable. He’s a fringe starter.
Boyle would not be valued by many teams as more than Njoku but As for Value on the Ravens its not even close. I’d MUCH rather have HH than Njoku as our third TE. Honestly, I think Atlanta improved at TE.
If NJoku was a street FA and Andrews were hurt I would kick the tires...
