1. He can block
2. He can catch
3. He won't cost a ton of $$
4. No injury history
5. He will make the pass that Willie Snead couldn't

what did Fleener originally sign for? I mean it seems like we overpaid for him but I don't really know jack about what the market value is these days.

Trey Burton


I have always liked his athleticism, even in college, but it’s not like he has been extremely productive in the NFL. He is more of a hybrid FB/TE type, and there is nothing wrong with that......but I’m just not sure it’s really what we need.

Not that he couldn’t wind up being a very good TE......but we don’t know. So with what it will cost to sign him (probably) I would much rather draft a TE like Fuhmegali for A LOT cheaper and use that money elsewhere. This TE draft class is deep.

Burton is intriguing, but I don’t see why some here are falling all over their selves like he’s a playmate

Either way, I am excited about this offseason getting under way. We are in a MUCH BETTER position this offseason than I can remember. Our most pressing needs are WR, TE, and Edge Rusher. As I said earlier, this TE class is DEEP, there will be options at WR in FA and the draft, the only wild card is probably a rush end. Re-signing Okafor could help.
I wouldn’t mind getting another LB, but with Anzalone and Klein coming back, I think we should be ok there.
