Benn is like 30. He's proven time and time again that he's not anything. He's a reserve/depth/special teams guy. Cool, nothing wrong with that for him. But he's not an NFL possession receiver. He's not what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be considered for a potential redzone target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at our Former TE Zach Miller who was essentially a Injury-prone TE who essentially missed 3 years with Injuries and then turned into a Solid Starter.

Thats just cherry picking one guy out of how many guys? Likelihood? Core ST, depth WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point in his career when hes been tested as a WR option (Im sure in the redzone too) and sits at the bottom of a depth chart that lacks a large posession receiver likely says yes, its crazy. There's a reason he isnt getting a shot thus far and a reason we just brought in another potentially big bodied posession guy that likely gets reps over him.

We have to consider that this isn't Benn's first rodeo as well. If he was going to be a good red-zone target, one of his previous teams would've already tried to maximize that potential.

Dude, you can hate the coaches/staff here as much as you want but if Benn had shown legit redzone potential he would have been given a chance. He is what he is. Just because a guy has size and solid combine #'s doesn't mean a guy is going to use his size the right way/be a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 3 years and 37 games with the Bucs, Benn was able to amass 5 touchdowns and around 800 yards. He missed 11 games. He was traded to the Eagles in 2013 and tore his ACL. He was out of the league from 13 until 2016. Benn has been a stout ST player for the Jags. Since entering the league in 2010 Benn has shown 2 things. He's a great ST player and he's injury prone.
