More depth for this position.

Interesting....

 

[JMC00]

Boston mediots: Pats are definitely worried about Gronk holding out.

 

[Galeb]

Hopefully the Pat's coaching staff can mold Clay into a productive player.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Back to the 4-TE goal line offense!!!

 

[AtomicDawg]

6'3" 250 lbs, 28 yrs old. Has played for the Eagles & Jaguars. Never eclipsed 26 catches in a single season. Can block/play STs.

Will anyone be able to see over these titans (RG, MB and CH)?

He's the 5th TE on the roster. I recall Belichick commenting that TE is one of the toughest positions on the team to grasp because there is so much different stuff to learn. This quote might be relevant:

Just before last September’s game against Jacksonville, Patriots coach Bill Belichick talked about Harbor.

“I’d say that Harbor is kind of similar to [Marcel] Reece. He’s a fullback, tight end kind of guy. [He] sort of lines up in a lot of different places. They use him in motion, change formations with him quite a bit,” Belichick said. “Harbor is a good receiver.”

Makes you wonder if they're looking at him more as competition for Develin than any of the tight ends.

Baby Gronk Lovers shed a tear.

Curious if this is a multi year deal, Harbour seems like more of a guy they'd like to keep around and grow with as opposed to a one year stop gap.

If they can't will you harbor any ill will towards him?

 

[ViperGTS]

If they can't will you harbor any ill will towards him?

At this point it would seem the Harbor is full with Gronk and Bennett.

He'll be 29 in July.

Hope so. But I don't Harbor any illusions that will happen.

Yikes. Didn't bother to read any other posts first. Freaking alarming how many bad punsters on this board

Yes, we harbor fugitive punners here.

 

[zipster9]

Strange. Some of these signings are head-scratchers.. I guess see if any sticks on the wall...

He caught three against us this year for 43 yards and a TD. He is also fast at a 4.58, 30 reps at 225 and a 7.12 3 cone. He has skills.

He'll be 29 in July.

So he'll be 31 after 3 more NFL seasons. Not saying he's just starting out but there's room there for a multi year deal.

He's a stiff.

You don't develop 29 year old tight ends.
