He was the second highest paid TE in the League last year.  Guys hoping he'll come here for peanuts is a pipe dream.  Mind you we have already signed depth, we need a stater though.   Here are the 2021 FA TEs: (You may have to toggle to the TEs)

We don’t have a TE on the roster worth keeping

every QB needs a quality TE and we need one

id consider Pitts big time at #8

What I meant is this guy the olson version we released?

Ah, well I think his value is less of that than at least 3 of the other TE UFAs.  He had a good stretch but he's nothing that great IMO.  He's above average, got injured last season, and will be 32 for 2021.  Not worth the money.  I'd much rather target Gerald Everett or Jonnu Smith.  Although, I can't say we invest a lot of dinero at the position.  We'll see, not a huge Rudolph fan.

Rudolph has gotten really old and slow.  Has not had more than 400 yards receiving in either of the last 2 years.  4 years ago, hell yeah, now, hard pass.

I don't think he's gotten that slow, plus we don't need a super fast and athletic field stretching TE, we already have that in our receivers and McCaffrey. Rudolph offers the main thing we don't have on offense and that's a big possession target and red zone threat. Don't need speed to box a guy out in the end zone...

If he would come here on a deal where he would have a 2 - 3 million cap hit, sure.  But more than likely it would be at least double that and until we figure out or QB situation I don't know that we are going to get any skill position players flocking to be here unless we throw a whole bunch of money at them.

Don't worry, we signed Stephen Sullivan already. We're good.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
