Jason Witten recorded the third highest DPAR among tight ends in 2004, and this year, he's second behind Antonio Gates. All this performance comes from a tight end that basically makes the league minimum. In comparison, the two highest-paid tight ends have been Tony Gonzalez and Gates (last year's definition of bargain player), who make approximately $4 million each. Jeremy Shockey, who has been as valuable as Witten this year but wasn't quite as valuable last year, earns roughly $1.8 million. The player our stats rated as the least valuable tight end in the league last year, Boo "Look Ma No Hands" Williams, even made $1.3 million.
