The Tennessee Titans have officially lost another member of their offense after tight end Austin Hooper agreed to terms on a one-year $2.75 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Hooper’s deal can reach as high as $3.5 million with performance and/or playing time incentives.
This divorce was widely expected following Chig Okonkwo’s dominant first season that saw him lead all rookie tight ends in yards and touchdowns (tied).
Hooper may not have resorted back to his Pro Bowl days as many Titans fans had hoped for, but his impact during clutch situations will undoubtedly be missed.
It seemed like every other critical third-down completion was thrown Hooper’s way, and he usually made the play for his team more often than not.
Hooper is coming off a respectable season in which he totaled 41 catches for 444 yards and two touchdowns.
The Stanford product also finished with an overall grade of 68.8 and a receiving grade of 74.6, per Pro Football Focus.
Tennessee’s former tight end will now get a significant opportunity to help fill the Raiders’ void atop the depth chart now that Darren Waller has been traded to the New York Giants.
