I like it as long as he’s not expensive. He’s 30, so he shouldn’t be but coupled with a TE in the draft it’s not a bad move. I think 39 could be a solid rookie TE or a WRnif a good one drops. It’s a much better TE class. This is a draft where TE is value so not overpaying a FA would be smart. Unfortunately, it’s kind of a bad draft and really bad FA year for WRs. 

Dogshit for WRs in the draft. Really hope we trade for a vet

Not to be a Debbie Downer but there’s some truth. Dalton, Hurst and Thielin and even Jamal Williams don’t make us close to a scary offense. None of them can be the guy who can still do a lot when the D focuses on them. No matter which FA WRs we sign, there’s no one who can go against the #1 CB or be the doubled guy and perform well. DJ wasn’t elite but no FA is close to him.

Great offensive minds can scheme guys open and elevate their players. Don’t necessarily need a T.O. out there.

 

The off-season isn’t done yet too (obviously).

 

I’m looking forward to what Reich/Brown cook up.

Klein seems to think there's more to come.

I'm getting dizzy

So much for the reports that we were not going to be very active in the first couple days of FA lol. We’ve made more signings than just about anybody so far.

Probably in the 15-25 range of TEs in the league which is much better than what we had in 2022.

Never been a fan of Hurst so not liking this signing personally

I agree, and we may not get a really good WR there--I think we are going to sign a WR or two today/tomorrow.

At pick #39 we may be able to get a stud WR, but having all these other holes filled means we could definitely trade 39 & another pick to move back into the 1st round and grab one....I think there are 4-5 #1 WR in this draft and many could be there in the 20's.  If we sign Theilen & Jamaal Williams, then grab a guy like Zay Flowers, JSN, Johnston.....imagine.

Solid

Awesome!  Hopefully he wasn't too expensive.  I wonder what releasing Ian Thomas does to our cap?  

Are we actually releasing him? Didn’t he just get extended last year?

[bobcat91]

I like this signing. He easily becomes the best TE on the roster and was affordable. Some of yall act like we still have 50 million dollars in cap space. We don't and still need to add a RB and WR at the very least. We are rebuilding, not reloading.

I'd rate him closer to 15, especially when you consider the other guys like Chase who were naturally gonna get targeted more. Here, that won't be the case.

He's a #2 TE but he can be a respectable receiving target if that's what you're asking.

 

 

[Hoenheim]

His stats def are not impressive and he's  going to be 30 going into the 2023 season despite being drafted in 2018. 

Anyone have a clue on how skilled he might actually be despite the stats. Don't remember personally watching him

We have the 2nd richest owner in football.

 

I think we will be fine watching him pay Nuk.

We are fans we don't pay the players bro. If you scared go to church!

Of course we would ink him to some kind of extension with dummy years on the back to spread out his cap hit if somehow he came here.
