What role could he fill, though, that's going to earn him a roster spot when such spots would already seem at a premium even before he'd be signed? Even if you go with 10 'WR'/TE spots, 8 of them would seem pretty much spoken for:
Gronk
Hernandez
Welker
Lloyd
Gaffney
Branch
Slater
Fells
I would agree wtih 6 of these: Gronk, Hernandez, Welker, Lloyd, Gaffney and probably Slater are all locks barring injury. I don't think Branch is a lock at all. And if Clark is signed and healthy I wouldn't consider Fells a lock.
I never said Clark was anything more than depth and roster competition. Note that I said it was a Tory Holt / John Lynch kind of situation. Neither of those guys made it out of training camp. But that doesn't mean that the Pats shouldn't take a look.
