7 million a year for an ironman te that could only muster up 5 tds and 3-4 plays over 20 yards, under 10 ypc avg. No yacs. Very few gamewinning plays. He's out there on every third-and-long and red-zone play but he doesn't have the skills or stats to warrant those snaps. Why they would even accept such a one-dimensional player as the main snapcount and receiver on this team makes entirely no sense at all. He wouldn't even be a starter if he was cut tomorrow because he doesn't have any secret sauce as a receiver. We need about 8-10 TD's out of our tight ends every year but we play him every single snap and settle for 4-5. I guess if he caught 50 passes for 3 yards avgs and no TD's he'd still be glorified for his catch rate and blocking. His 35-40 rinky dink receiving yards per game doesn't warrant all those snaps. He's just holding back the rest of the skilled players. Plug even the worst tight end in the NFL into our offense w our oline and he'd have a hard time not surpassing these stats.
