With the new weapons and evolution of the offense, I'm not so sure we're going to see so many double TE sets anyway. If that's the case, then it doesn't make much sense to bring in Barnidge. But... if we're planning on trotting Dickson out there for nearly two thirds of our snaps again... well then, fug.

I'm kinda meh on Barnidge anyway.

It's not just about 2 TE sets but about the reality that Olsen has been incredibly durable and reliable for us. He isn't getting younger. Our ineptitude with the backup tight end position is infuriating.

We need a long term fix for when Greg calls it a career; Not another TE already on the wrong side of 30. 

Plus, as has already been mentioned, with our first 2 draft picks, I'm not so sure the need for double TE sets is as necessary as it once was pre-draft.

      Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."

      Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...

      Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
