A Guy Named Blake
- Thread starter NJCat
- Start date
Tendering at that level would not impede a competing contract offer unless he is an exclusive right free agent (ERFA).

For a guy who's a frequent starter? Surprisingly low.... should say I don't pay attention to NFL salaries, but I have noticed a lot of veteran non starters at other interior positions (LB, DT) seem to get well over 1 mill. Maybe OL is different, or he's not enough of a veteran yet.
He was an undrafted free agent who is probably an exclusive right free agent within the window of his rookie contract. The salary is baked in given by the collective bargaining agreement unless the club chooses to reward him for outplaying the contract. Never happens.
Blake's Spotrac page.
Per the Googles: "An ERFA is any player in the league with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If the original team offers the player a one-year contract at the league minimum based on his credited seasons, the player cannot negotiate with other NFL teams."
So he's basically a Brown. If salary cap and camp cuts present the Browns with an opportunity to upgrade, they could still jettison Hance into free agency. But the odds of that are probably less likely.
PFF gave Blake a 56.7 grade for 2021. That's far from great. But he's backup, has some positional flexibility, and the Browns seem to like him.
For comparison, James Daniels scored 71. Cody Whitehair was 66.

First off, @AdamOnFirst is the PFF expert.
How about we stick to starting OT threads that get deleted, Hungry.
Jeez. Some people get defensive these days.
I used the term ‘we’. I’ve had quite a few threads get nuked as well. If we bomb out of the men’s BTT, I’ll probably take a long break from the board as NU sports just ain’t fun right now. And the lack of an ability to talk about other stuff makes these boards dreary.
BTW, who is Ed Sheeran? Was he a member of the Strokes?
My apologies for offering data points to the board that are worth a little more than your opinion, which is worth nothing.
Dude, if all of us here thought everyone else's opinion was "worth nothing", then none of us would have a reason to hang out here.
