I think of it a different way.I'm expecting more use of an offensive lineman. Maybe they will find one that can catch a pass once in a while.
I think that we now have 8 active OL's: the starters, a tackle, a guard and one other, usually a backup center. The mix can be different.
One of the OL's could be the 3rd TE in jumbo sets. Then, there is no need for an active 3rd TE. Whether we have a backup TE on the 53 man roster is another issue.
The bottom line is whether a blocking TE is worth an active roster spot.
