Somewhat underutilized. He was only targeted 22 times, but had 18 receptions with a lone TD.

A little - the fish was drafted specifically for his blocking with hopes of gradually improving as a pass catcher. TE's take time however I don't see Trautman in black and gold after this season.

I'd definitely look at drafting another TE but hey, that's just me.

I don't see him coming back either. We need better receiving TE depth and Trautman never became the TE we envisioned. Taysom is a TE in name only and defies a traditional role at any position. Find one in the draft.

Looks like we'll absolutely be having some compensatory picks coming our way next year. Losing free agents to division opponents scores higher in the formula.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
I'm genuinely at a loss for how we address the D line.

It's looking like mid-level FA (barring a trade) and hope to get a difference maker in the draft?

This year's draft is presumably rich with TEs. Let's get one! We'll keep Trautmann around. He's coming around.
