why have we been probing free agent TE's?


We wouldn't be doing our due diligence if we weren't at least talking to other people after parting ways with the 2nd best TE in the game. Besides, Zach Miller and Gresham are the only two TE's on the market worth a damn.

Completely disagree with you regarding the Watson possibly not making the 53 though. The vet leadership is way too important at a position as uncertain as that. He isn't even a top 30 paid tight end and the cap number is only 1.9.

we shall see. I dont think Watson is as comfortable as everyone thinks.

it wouldnt have to do with veteran leadership nor money. Age and talent, and the fact that Hill isnt exactly proven. Watson will turn 35 this season and was a total non factor in the passing game last year, averaging 6.8 YPC.


yes, I think we'll prob only keep 2 TEs, then we have Lorig for emergencies, and we'll see a ton of Peat or Strief at TE as a 6th OL. Hill is a definite, but Watson's age and lack of production has him on the hot seat. If they can find someone on the market to replace him that is younger, they will.
