Brate and Jimmy got big money...
thoughts on this fragile potential pro-bowler?

Man Ebron is talented but damn, he can't seem to catch the football consistently. I've seen a lot of passes that Highland Park (Stafford) put right on the money, yet he somehow dropped em. Get that man some stickem.

Pass.

I think we have too much money sunk into Fleener to justify a big pickup at TE. We cut Fleener then we'll end up with a bunch of dead money in coming years - a lot. I'd rather draft TE and get that player for 3 solid years during his youth.

Fleener just needs to step up and earn that money!!

The concussions are a bit concerning. Fleener had 5 last season. Every time he was tackled & got up slowly ... take a deep breath.

Zebron is very young for a 4 year vet-
about to turn 25

He drops a lot of passes. Brees likes to hit those big targets in the red zone with high passes but he doesn't seem to pull them in.

He operates inside the 20 yard range and a safety net type TE which makes him a perfect fit. But man does he drop some easy passes. He'd fall out of favor here real fast. There's talent there though.

I'd look at real cheap options like Niles Paul or Luke Willson.

No - Look, Brees makes everyone better, but he can't catch it for them too...

Yep - and we already have a guy (Hill) who's pretty good at that very thing.
