He was the second highest paid TE in the League last year.  Guys hoping he'll come here for peanuts is a pipe dream.  Mind you we have already signed depth, we need a stater though.   Here are the 2021 FA TEs: (You may have to toggle to the TEs)

We don’t have a TE on the roster worth keeping

every QB needs a quality TE and we need one

id consider Pitts big time at #8

What I meant is this guy the olson version we released?

Ah, well I think his value is less of that than at least 3 of the other TE UFAs.  He had a good stretch but he's nothing that great IMO.  He's above average, got injured last season, and will be 32 for 2021.  Not worth the money.  I'd much rather target Gerald Everett or Jonnu Smith.  Although, I can't say we invest a lot of dinero at the position.  We'll see, not a huge Rudolph fan.

Rudolph has gotten really old and slow.  Has not had more than 400 yards receiving in either of the last 2 years.  4 years ago, hell yeah, now, hard pass.

I don't think he's gotten that slow, plus we don't need a super fast and athletic field stretching TE, we already have that in our receivers and McCaffrey. Rudolph offers the main thing we don't have on offense and that's a big possession target and red zone threat. Don't need speed to box a guy out in the end zone...

If he would come here on a deal where he would have a 2 - 3 million cap hit, sure.  But more than likely it would be at least double that and until we figure out or QB situation I don't know that we are going to get any skill position players flocking to be here unless we throw a whole bunch of money at them.

Don't worry, we signed Stephen Sullivan already. We're good.

    • I think Bryce balls out again and the Panthers win in a close one.  Panthers will have a defender shadow CMC the whole game so I expect he'll be contained to under 100 yards.  
    • yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too).   also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight.   And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks.  I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often. 
    • Sadly, I agree and I’m a huge Melo fan. Might be time to ship him out. Don’t want to make the same mistakes the Pels did. They should’ve gotten rid of Zion two years ago.
