jetfuel34 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 This is not a bad signing but he also comes with great risk. He has torn his ACL before and had a knee injury in the AFC Championship game. I like we at least have a TE to play but no way he makes it 17 games. He also was in the Super Bowl and having guys that where in the Super Bowl on your team is a big plus in my eyes.

His knee injury in the AFCCG was a sprained MCL (nothing really) hence why he still played in the SB. The guy is tough as nails and a leader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4life51 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Isn't he a really solid, if not good, blocking TE as well? Something LaFleur seems to like. He's 6'6 a huge target and he can run after the catch. He's also not a huge expense where we HAVE to play him over a young guy if they break out. Could be a great role model for Yeboah and rookie.

Was just about to bring up Yeboah as a mentee. I'd still love McBride but I think this pushes te a bit further down the draft and probably puts a bigger focus on a blocking te when we do pick one.

Colt45fool Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I get that everyone loves this signing but hes old and average at best Which is fine given our tight end room. But I would have significantly preferred a willing blocker/receiver whos explosive like OJ Howard on a prove it deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old and average is fine when paired with someone younger and hopefully better than average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
