I think Methuselah coming back has erased any thought that the team might pursue a TE in free agency.
A one year prove it deal was worth looking at but with Witten coming back I don’t see it Jarwin and Schultz need snaps so we can continue to develope them
Should bring him and Berry in. Then host a bet on which one get injured first among Lee, Eifert and Berry to start off the first year of legal gambling at the Caesers Palace .
Honest question.......as of now, who's our starting 2019 TE? Please don't say, Witten, you can't be a starter playing 20-25 snaps a game. Remember Stephen PROMISED his highest offseason priority was upgrading the TE position. I'm holding him to it.......still waiting.
I'd say Jarwin. But knowing this team, they'll probably give the ceremonial first snap to Witten. Because... feelings...
In Stephen's mind Witten may be that upgrade. I'm still trying to understand what Stephen's rendition is of not being conservative this off-season?
I am not too familiar with the strength of TE depth for this draft. If there is someone with a high ceiling in 4th round maybe they’d grab them with our compensatory pick? I know that is more of that they already have, but I think we all know that what we have doesn’t appear to be a solution for Witten when he exits. He can coach on the field this year, and be the TE coach as soon as he steps down for good in a year or two. Or they can ride out what we have and aim for TE in rd 1 or 2 next year. I’m hoping we stock pile the defensive side in the draft this year, with the exception of adding a backup rb for Zeke.
