2019
Players: LaCosse, Izzo, Watson, Tomlinson
Per Game: 2 catches, 27yds, .14TDs
This is pathetic. The current status is unacceptable. We need a TE- badly.
You are correct Cousin.
There are some definite maybes out there I have broken into categories:
HIGH PICK COST:
Austin Hooper ATL. It would cost at least a first rounder. Should the Falcons consider it? Last year on his contract. Pats would have to have an agreement going forward for a first round pick.
Evan Engram NYG It would cost at least a first rounder. Signed until 2020 at a cheap $2.9mm and $3.43mm. Giants are out of it. We gave a 1st for Cooks. He does not have that production but he fits the Aaron Hernandez role. Not much blocking. The Giants are done and need a makeover an added first can give them
OJ Howard TB It would cost at least a first rounder. BA needs to move an asset he is not using. Maybe...just Maybe Bennett and a pick.
I would like us to keep Bennett but.............Brate would be the consolation prize but $7mm salary?
TRADE:
Tyler Higbee LAR. TRADE This is a trade scenario. Bennett with Donald might pull up the Rams. TE is Goff's last read. His Salary is too high but it goes down the next three years.
Adam Shaheen CHI. TRADE He languishes in Chicago. Bears could use Bennett. Book has not been written on this kid YET. Decent blocker. Great size. Was a great receiver in college but the Bears use Burton as their receiving TE
LOW PICK COST:
Tyler Eifert CINN. Lower pick should do it. If he's healthy he would be out #1 TE.
Jeff Heuerman DEN Lower pick. Cheap alternative but maybe better than what we have. Can block. More catches than Izzo and LaCosse combined.
Mike Gesicki MIA Lower pick. Can catch but a mediocre or worse blocker. Great size. Will the Fins trade? He has potential and has suffered bad QB play.
Jesse James DET? Matty P took a fifth for his starting Saftey Maybe a sxith, seventh? Dude killed us in Pittsburgh.
BEST BETS?:
Eifert
Shaheen
