From what I've heard of his recent weight, that sounds just a little unsavory.

Crumpler: Sniff it!
Ram: God damn.

Recent experience is we have not utilised a te very often in passing routes, so his 22 catches and top notch blocking will be fine and lets us focus our attention elsewhere. He did block for a 2000 yard rusher last season.

Agree, as far as blocking TE's go, we're not going to find anything better.
At the very least he helps keep Brady upright, and opens some holes for our running game.

He is a good blocker.
He is a good locker-room presence.
Why not sign him ?
What will his price be ?

It does seem like a good fit. I have to imagine the hold up is either money or years. If there was a health or weight concern, I doubt they'd still be interested.

As for Algae Crumpler - I think this is the way that Bill should go. Then he can use one of the 7th-rounders on another TE, and sign Scott Sicko as a UDFA; just please don't waste another of our 1st/2nds on this under-utilized position.
