Why no FA TE yet???

This wasn't a very good TE FA class. Better to spend resources on better players at other positions than just to grab a joe and throw him in because we have a hole.

If we don't upgrade in FA, but we keep building like we are, we're likely to get a better TE in the draft than we would have had we settled for meh talent in FA.

The way we improved so many other positions makes this not a huge concern for me.

We already have TEs that are in the same average tier, whether slightly above or below.

We have a young TE with upside that has arguably been unexplored or untapped due to horrible coaching the last couple of seasons.

We can arguably get a prospect in the draft that has more upside than overpaid free agents.

We only have so much money.

Too slow on the draw.  While other teams were gobbling up TES the first day of FA, we were signing guards.  The pickings are very slim now.

Guards were the bigger deal for us by far.

And the talent at TE just wasn't there.

We went the right direction.

TEs that got gobbled up we're overpaid.

True.

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
