Kiwibrown Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 It seems odd to me, he had solid hands, he could block ok and seemed like a pro. Could still upgrade te and keep him. Something doesnt add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 So clearly we’re taking Hockenson at 17. Saves having to debate that for the next month. Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vee-Rex Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Can't say I'm a huge fan of cutting Fells right now but I understand it if we're looking for more speed on offense. The question is how we will replace him. We'll have to let things play out and see where it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnies20 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Won’t be hard to find a suitable replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 FWIW... https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/darren-fells/8549 Graded out as above average and 31st overall in the league. Considering we kept 4 TE’s last season and he was our best blocker, I’m somewhat surprised he was cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I liked Fells. He did everything right in the role he was in last year. Doesn’t get separation as a receiver but if a throw was near his hands, he came down with it. Pretty good blocker also. I fear we went cheap here. I expect TE and LB to do some re-tooling this off-season. We can’t go in with our current TEs behind Njoku. And LB is out Collins, Kirksey next in line to the Greyhound possibly within the next year, and Joe Schobert waiting on an extension. I’m not huge on creating more needs. I’d like to see an upgrade at CB also. We may see a really big roster turnover again this year, though not on the level as last year.

No. He is only good against us because of our poor coverage. Btw: How does that make you a homer? Edited March 10, 2019 by bruceb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Fells was nice, he helped changed the culture. Now that isn’t needed anymore and the spot should be upgraded. Better to cut him now so he can have a chance to find a new team quicker. Always better to cut a guy early than late.
