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.

The only other option is to trade back up into the 1st round and target one of the WRs there to be our #1, but it's risky to count on finding a trade partner, and it's expensive draft capital wise.

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

He was around 13-15 statistically and missed 4 games.....in a full season he is potentially a top 10 TE.

Keep in mind he also played in Cinn where they had 3 of the top 35 WR's in the league, so targets weren't easy to come by.

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

No, I worded that terribly.  I was just inquiring about how it would look if we did.  The answer was not good.

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

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.

Did you type this during the 90 seconds you have to wait before the fries are ready?  Just kidding.  I have been able to work all week from home, so the NFL network is on in my home office and I am spending about 30 minutes on work every three hours.  This is so addictive.

I used to post a lot more often here but I got truck driving job in 2020 and then had a lot less time. I used to work only half days and before that unemployed and before that 4 days a week.

Most FA listings had them Schultz/Engram at the top then Hurst as #3 available option. Schultz would be cool but probably getting ahead of ourselves throwing $10+M at a TE this year.

I'm whelmed by this move unless he does something unexpected

We are not rebuilding lol

 

We have a legit defense and our Oline is locked up for the foreseeable future. We are about to draft a rookie QB #1 overall. We are a #1 WR away from winning this division. It's why I keep bringing up Nuk.

 

I don't think people realize just how much talent this team has. We got all the major positions taken care of pass rushing DE, lockdown DB, solid Oline, young franchise QB.

 

WR is basically the only weakness we have right now. We are not rebuilding people!

I hope so! That ranking wasn’t my opinion since I haven’t seen enough of him to say. I just perused a few TE ranking lists of last year and that’s the ranges I saw.

By all accounts he is a fantastic team mate. Look around the web, his team loves him, the fans love him, he does a lot in the community and works hard. Capable of making plays in the passing game. This is a good signing. Look at more then just his nfl stat page folks

I am not as excited as I would have been if it were Gisecki, but this is a good signing.
