Free Agent TE Options

[28222]

Naturally, we are hoping Marty returns. But assuming the financials don't work out for both sides, there seem to be a host of names out there. I would love to see Luke Willson here as a blocking/receiving TE2, but there are some others. I am just not sure of their ability/willingness to block... anyone have any strong feelings toward:
Griffin - HOU
Tamme - ATL
Sims - MIA
Doyle - IND
V Davis - WSH
Toilolo - ATL
Cameron - MIA
With Marty and all of these names out there, a TE2 could come at a relative bargain, be it on a 1 yr deal or something longer. We probably value TE2 as high as anyone, so it could be a bargain investment.

What about jermaine main man gresham?

Really good blocker. Possibly underrated receiver.

 

[Double TE]

I'd take a shot at Cameron

I will say this Bennett at 50 is easily an upgrade over any of those guys.

I'd invite the recently-released Brandon Pettigrew to Foxborough for a workout/interview,
Right Now.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

you'd piss off Bennett.

Not a bad choice for a possible reclamation project. I'd say it would be 50/50 as to whether or not it works out, but it's as good as any other option on that list.

Luke Wilson.

I think he's very underrated, I think he got lost in the whole shuffle of the Jimmy Graham trade. Before that, he was becoming a pretty decent #1 TE for them.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Wilson isnt leaving Seattle

Why? Do they share an unpleasant moment in their histories?

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

hed feel like were looking to replace him could neg affect contract talks.

 

[patfanken]

Lets not forget that the Pats will get Michael Williams back next season. He was developing nicely as an excellent blocking TE, who had some receiving skills

 

[Aßßynormal]

I'd use a high pick on a TE AND resign Bennett. It takes a year or two for TEs to develop.

Wilson isnt leaving Seattle

How do you know?

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Hes a fan favorite

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Everytime he makes a play the crowd goes Luuuuke

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

My guess is he would only leave to be a number 1

The fans may love him, but it is the front office who has to decide between him and Graham. With their cap situation and lack of quality roster depth, I'm not as confident as you that that they can sign him if they keep Graham for another year.
Willson isn't Bennett, but he won't make close to Bennett either with all of the free agent options out there. His value could be a nice consolation prize.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

I think he will get more money then you think I see more teams throw money at Luke Wilson hes a 5 mill a year guy id take Bennett for 2 Mill more
