Other teams cuts.

I'll just sit back and let the coaching staff and FO make the decisions

And more expensive. And never said he was good at receiving. He would be used in run sets.

If you want better players, you got to spend money. It's that simple.

Dude you don't just spend money on players that won't add much in terms of playing time. That's not how it works. You have to consider value and want them to be a sure thing. We wouldn't spend money on a backup QB, why do it for a backup TE who isn't all that different from two other starters. It's that simple.

[La Pantera]

If Olsen or Barny got hurt, would you rather have Brockel come in and play TE? Or would you rather it be Cooley?

If Tolbert got hurt, would you rather Brockel play FB/HB? Or would you rather it be Cooley?

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

I would prefer waiting till final cuts are made and doing some serious evaluation on if there are any additions that are better than our 53 man roster.

I am assuming there might be talent at DT, Cb, and or safety that could improve our backup situation. I believe our offense is pretty intact. I like the tlght ends, and wr's. They know chuds system and I believe our offense will not be in issue.

I am sure everyone wants better players all around. Would you rather have a better backup QB if Cam got hurt? A number 1 WR option if Smith is out? But, money doesn't grow on trees and you have to use it wisely. Use it in places where it'd have a greater effect, like defense.

You are assuming 3 people get hurt. If you want to take that view, fine with me. But that's not the way I look at it, especially when it comes to the offensive side. We have weapons all around that would compensate if one of those guys went down.

yeah, i'd rather have shockey.

from what i heard cooley is thinking about hanging it up. said he doesn't want to wear another jersey.

shockey might be retiring just so he could bang his wife and hang out at the beach...or he might just be holding off signing a deal so he can keep doing that for a while longer.

How is assuming 3 prople to get hurt? You only need ONE of those people to get hurt, then Brockel is getting significant playing time. Also I doubt that Cooley will receive a large contract IF he continues playing.

If one of those guys goes down, we'll be fine.

If Olsen goes down, put Barnidge in. We still have weapons in Stewart, DeAngelo, Tolbert, Smith, and LaFell.

If Tolbert goes down, use Brockel as the HBack every so often. But we played last year without a FB so it wouldn't be a big deal. And again we have Stewart, DeAngelo, Olsen, Smith and LaFell.

If Barnidge goes down, then we still have Olsen and others.

All 3 would have to go down for it to be worth signing him.
