Low risk, high reward. He'll be cut before the 53 is announced, and resigned after week 1 if necessary. This way his salary isn't guaranteed.

I hear ya. I wasn't refering so much to how much money we will have to pay him. I was more referring to the fact that he has been an under achiever his entire career. Got a good pay day with the Broncos and then got bounced. Then get bounced from the Titans with 2 yrs left on his contract. Doesn't sound like that great of a player to me. JMO

Well I don't think anyone thinks he's Tony Gonzales. He is what he is, and thats a merely adequate TE that excells in blocking and may provide some pointers to our young TE's and may be an emergency fill in if one of our guys goes down during the season.

I highly doubt the front office brought him in hoping he'd be one of our top 3.
