Jake Bequette made a slick catch near the goal line as he continues to make the transition to tight end.
“Good. He’s worked really hard,” Belichick said. “Worked on his blocking, his hands, good athlete, smart kid. Worked hard. Getting better every day.
Has anyone seen him during training camp?
You don't show off your secret weapon,you keep him in reserve and when your
Opponent least expects it you set him loose.
Like Kramer just showing up for work at a job he doesn't have in Bizarro Jerry:I'm convinced that they cut him halfway through his rookie season, but like a horror movie about a haunted doll, he just kept showing back up at practice, even though no one could remember letting him in...
Now they just let him practice whatever position he feels like that day, leave him inactive on gameday, and never EVER speak his name.

Converted TE Jake Bequette has now out-lasted Tim Wright, Fred Davis, Logan Stokes and A.J. Derby for a Patriots roster spot. Amazing.
When is 3 receivers enough? The Bucs should employ a position called "pass catcher", instead of WR/TE, Wright was decent he was just beaten by others on our roster.
I'm not taking it as gospel. It was one of those "rundown" columns for the goings on throughout the league.
One thing to keep in mind is that Tampa Bay was reportedly considering to cut him last summer as well, as they shifted back and forth from TE to WR. Perhaps he just isn't a good fit in that specific organization?
Wright just disappoints me.
I felt that he showed a good amount in limited action learning our system. He goes back to his original team and still struggles to show enough? What's wrong with the kid, he seems gifted with physical talent, he LOOKED big enough and fast enough while on the field here to warrant a spot on many NFL rosters, yet TB, an organization annually devoid of talent, is expected to cut him?
I know he's not Hernandez, I know he's not some exceptional talent, but how has this kid now showed enough to be a #2 on the average NFL TE depth chart when most teams don't even have a true #1 TE. The average team probably has their top TE as a 4th or 5th member in terms of passing production.
I'm not upset he's not on our roster, I'm just confused how he hasnt shown enough that he's talked about as a casualty from the Buc's roster. That's bad.

I read yesterday that Tim Wright may be cut in Tampa Bay, who is having the same degree of difficulty in terms of trying to find a real position for him.
He's not an effective enough blocker to play much TE, and the Bucs are pretty well off in terms of receiving options with Evans, Jackson, and Seferian-Jenkins.
Neither do I. One of Bill's worst off-season moves so far, up there with letting Browner go.
