Need a TE who can open the seam in Sean’s offense. Fleener failed. Time to move on.

Lack of production from the TE was a big factor in our 3rd down conversions or lack thereof .
I think we need a total retool at TE!

I agree with this. Also the reason we struggled in the red zone early on until Payton found the run game. We play some good defenses next year and we need the option of going to a reliable TE.
Our blocking is fine.
