Can he es block? Our second TE needs to be a blocking TE
He is a receiving TE. He had an underwhelming year with MacDaniel but in the past he had better production than Henry.

I think him and Henry are redundant.
 
Apparently the other teams bidding for Brown were the Jets and Steelers. He got a $31 mm signing bonus and KRAFT simply doESn’t like to give up that much cash up front.
FIFY. Up front cash has no bearing on CAP spending (BB), but a big bearing on the check the owner (Kraft) has to write. Maybe you can parse it with notions like, "Well, if he got his money, he won't play harder," or something.
Remember when BB said that the Pats were among the lowest spending teams over the last few years?
 
Ginkel has always stood out in the Dolphins games for me.
I really want to see Gesicki and another receiver brought In today the most.
 
Van Ginkel was pretty good with Brian Flores. In 2021 he had 45 pressures & graded out well as a run defender. PFF had him 6th in run defense in 2022, 19th in 2021 & 13th in 2020. Think of a more athletic player than Anfernee Jennings with more pass rush ability. A better early down option & another pass rusher to keep Judon fresh. He'd be a good move.
 
Van Ginkel has flashed against us a few times, but has also been burned a few times against us
 
Gesicki would be a great addition!
We don't need him to "be a blocker" - because Henry may turn into the blocking TE if we get Mike. He's a Kelce clone. Great potential.
We won't need a "True #1 WR" if we add Gesicki with our current pass catchers.
JuJu, Parker, Bourne, Thornton, Gesicki, Henry, Strong, MonTy... If Mac plays up to his ceiling with a solid OL, we can compete with anyone.
 
Van Ginkel is necessary, because we need our proverbial white OLB. Ginko will be the next Ninko (since Wino didn't work out).
 
 
I was hoping we could have grabbed Fletcher Cox, but he's back to the Eagles. Maybe we should use the draft there.
