I think he's the #4, Thomas and tremble still start over him. Sanders should next year as well.

He's a fine rotational piece and Im sure he can play some STs. Hes like HC Dave in his positive upbeat personality.

Hasn’t he been out of the league several years now pretty much? Cool story with the comeback but at absolute best he’s our 3rd TE, honestly may not even make the roster. I hope he does and I like what I’ve seen but I have no expectation that he’ll actually contribute much at all…

He's been trans....errra He started the move to TE in 2020 and this is the best he's looked as one. Panthers had a fluff piece on him, he was on the 49ers and told to gain 25 LBs in one month after a talk with shanny. 

The thing is TE have longer careers, so that move saved him some staying power. I think fans have too high hopes for him, honestly wouldn't shock me if he was cut. He stayed on the PS the whole 2023, any team could have signed him. 

He's a classic vet and good for locker room moral.

I think our TE's kind of stack out like this:

Tremble and Thomas are locks because they block better than anyone else.  Canales wants to run, and you need a blocking TE.  Though a surprise cut of one of them wouldn't surprise me.

JT Sanders is super exciting.  I can't wait to see him develop over the next couple of years.

Matthews is a really good dude.  But he's not a blocker.  He's an H Back, Split Out TE.  I could see us making room for him on the roster because he's a good leader and vet who can make plays.

Best of luck to all of them.  It's a tough business.

Whatever happens this season I can say I am very pleased with the attention we are finally giving to the TE position. It's been too damn long since we've had high level play from the position group. Now let's just get Ian Thomas out of here and move forward renewed.

I really like him as a big WR/TE hybrid.  He has made plays.  I think Sanders is TE1 right out of the gate.  Agree with others Tremble probably gets cut

That’s it he probably should get the last WR spot with his ability to play both positions

I dont see any way that Tremble should be cut. The dude is on a 3rd round rookie contract in his 3rd season....

If anyone should go it’s definitely Ian Thomas. 

Dave has to tie to Tremble though.  Was hurt all preseason….and unlike the rest cutting him clear some real cap space vs the rest.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
