Additional FA Needs

I suggested at the draft the Pats double dip at TE and was verbally assaulted by some deep thinker.

Boy, that aged like milk.

Cheesy take.

I don't love having to rely on a rookie that isn't projected to make an impact.
example: Raridon. he is a project. perhaps he will be a contributor immediately. but chances are, he will not. he was the #95 pick. Asiasi was the #91 pick. Keene was the #101 pick. I am not saying it will be the same, but Henry is not playing wire to wire every game, even if healthy.
Hooper gave us over 500 snaps on offense last season. he also caught 77% of his 26 targets. he had 13 1st downs and 2 TD's.
can Raridon come close to that?
Would Dippre, Tanner and Raridon combined get anywhere close to that?

How high a pick are you willing to give to another team for their #3 TE?

I suspect that we kept Dippre on the roster for exactly this situation. But sure, we might sign someone else's #4 after the final cuts.

Jonnu Smith is sounding better all the time.

You....do remember him playing here, right?

I was big on a TE double dip.
Can't recall who was vehemently against it?

Vannett and Fitzpatrick (returning from injury) are available free agents that fill the need, and would not cost a ton.
perhaps Dissly too.

I know some believe PFF is toilet paper, but Vannett graded out elite as both a run and pass blocker

yes. he was not smart enough to grasp the offense
