already a thread on him

Hmph. Not too bad I guess. Three years seems like a lot however for a guy this mediocre. I thought we would have signed him to a one-year deal. Oh well...

Is Zach Hilton going ot re-sign with us?

I know that his stats aren't that spectacular, but starter experience counts for a lot.

Dont get me wrong, I, with the rest of you , would love to get an Antonio Gates, but I think with this guy we will be ok. If all of our weapons are healthy, a so-so tight end would suffice.

Campbell is noted mostly for his blocking. Hilton will still be our guy in the passing game.

Are we going to re-sign Hilton?

i dunno if there is a record somewhere if they offered him the tender. i think if he is still listed as RFA at this point they must have. the move looks more like a lamont hall replacement to me. ditto on conwell. seems like he was a good enough guy but he was injured too frequently and seemed to drop more the more critical the play was.

Hilton is a restricted FA. We will be able to match what ever offer he gets.
