so why add another player that is a high risk to end up on IR ?

i say wait to see what happens during camp.

or look at a lunch pail FA like

Zach Potter, TE, Jaguars. Age: 26
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 279

maybe not the most nimble of TE but he can help out on both sides of the ball if needed. DE in college. 5 blocked kicks in college. a few int's also

i still say wait and see what happens first

Will not get us there.

We would have to let Thomas go and keep Higgins as our developmental player. Do we want to trade a player we could lose at any moment to another concussion or do we bring in another player who is getting older and has not been healthy lately? Thomas already knows the system and is a good locker room guy.

I'm gonna have to pass on this one.

Drew could make me a star TE.

Tight ends are usually tall fellows. How tall are you with the ears?

Heard Thomas was healthy and ready to go. He's very underrated.

TE's are the new weapon de jour. Clark is great insurance if the price is fair.
