Trade for TEs?

Well I read that Todd Heap was in town and looked very, very healthy...

 

Not sure what that means but it intrigues me.

 

That was for Play 60. My little cousins got to meet him.

You have someone better in mind? At least we know Heap can catch and hold onto a ball. And he would come back for league minimum. Can we say that for anyone else available that is worth anything? Its not like Grondkowski (sp) is available. I do not see a big list of available and halfway decent TEs floating around.

 

We thought Clark could catch the ball too, but what happened??

[RobFuseRaven]

I forgot about him but he wouldn't be a bad idea. Is he still a free agent?

 

He was released by the Edmonton Eskimos July 12, so he should still be in good shape.

Rather give Furstenburg some snaps then get another slow , old Tight End like Dallas Clark .

Id rather have dallas clark

Well we will see if Clark begins to improve . There was a reason nobody was picking him up .i think I see why

If we're talking about WRs.. I felt pretty comfortable with Smith, Stokely, Jones, Brown and Mellette.

 

If we're talking about KR.. I thought we would've kept Rainey.

 

...During the PS of course.

AGREED! Rainey was looking very good and after his last game it should have been obvious he was not going to sneak back on to the roster.

I agree. Young, athletic talent has to be given a chance to develop the upside, rather than have a vet who "knows what to do" but is in decline on the field.

I really don't think it's all that farfetched.  Heap is younger than Clark, had (yes I know it's past tense) a strong rapport with Joe, knows the AFCN, and hasn't played for 2 seasons, meaning if he does want to play he should at minimum be as healthy as he can be.  IMO there are worse options out there, and Todd would come for vet minimum without us having to give up a draft pick.  I honestly think it's the best of several bad options.

Interesting idea as we've seen all that Clarke "can't do" if you will. However, I feel like it's still a stop gap measure that puts us behind developing younger talent that we need to figure out whether they can or cant play.
