Is he going to take away a lot from the other 2 TE's? Is he worth being a starter? He was pretty solid in Minnesota

when did they get him? I didnt even see that. I'd avoid him. Stay with Gronk or Hernandez

I think he will pretty much just provide depth, and may come in on blocking situations...Gronk and Hernandez should be fine barring injury. IMO of course.

His acquisition indicates a continued emphsis on the TE's in that offense.

People should not forget about Hernandez.

Hernandez basically play WR full time, but is listed as a TE. Gronk lines up outside and inside. Shiancoe is depth only and will probably block 100%.

Patriots signed TE Visanthe Shiancoe to a one-year, $1.2 million contract.

Profootballtalk reports Shiancoe will receive $400,000 guaranteed and can make another $800,000 in incentives, typical of a veteran signing just prior to training camp. The addition of Shiancoe suggests the Patriots aren't counting on Daniel Fells (leg) to contribute any time soon. The Eagles, lacking veteran depth at the position, had also offered Shiancoe a contract. Don't look for fantasy value behind Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez in New England.
