Arguably the worst group. Not definitively the worst, but in the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drops some passes but he's a Pro Bowler. Guy would be a great addition." Of course it's sarcasm- he'll never be Sharpe- but a lot of people here love him for some reason.

At least for me, I like him for us because he’s a productive albeit not elite player at arguably our biggest need position. He’s not without flaws but he represents somewhat of an upgrade over a healthy Burton and a gigantic upgrade over all of our non-Burton TEs. He’s also a guy we know will be available come March since he’s made no secret he’s looking to FA and Indy won’t tag him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of recognize the intersection of need, availability and cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract_thought Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 There’s smoke about Ebron not being an easy guy to get along with, he’s had issues with injuries, and he’s never been highly productive on a per-target basis. I think the Bears can find a better option either through the draft or FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Romen Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 What's everyone's want out of a tight end around here? Do you like the Jimmy Graham's that are basically receivers or Kittle's that do both? I see that Mycole Pruitt, Nick Vannett, Vance McDonald, Clive Walford, Logan Thomas, Ricky Seals-Jones (RFA), Charles Clay and Lance Kendricks are available this year. All cheaper options, but I don't know how much they help the offense. Just want to see what people think about the options outside of the top 3/4 TE's. Do we think Nagy is hoping Burton comes back healthy and can be just the receiver while he can take a Hunter Henry that can do both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Burton and Horsted are better suited to being moved around but there's a strong need for a guy who can make important blocks and also threaten the coverage.

Pruitt is JAG and the rest are either too old and/or too bad. Give me a Kittle type TE over a Graham type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Just give me someone defenses care enough about to cover. That is all we need. Ideally they would be a compentent blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be an acceptable, we need a competent veteran in here to get Shaheen off the roster. But I wouldn’t be overly excited. Nick Vannett, another Steelers TE, would be a similar signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can see that too. Just pondering about JAGs that could be signed. Seals-Jones pique anyone's interest? He's big, with solid movement and catching. Seemed like he could breakout in AZ, but it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
