Hunter Henry Off the Board

[Whatever]

The Pats have now spent a combined 87 million dollars on Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry, the top two Tight Ends in free agency.

I mean, it makes sense.  Tight Ends are huge factors in today's game.  And if anyone knows what they're doing it's Bill Bellichick.

Meanwhile, we're standing pat with CJ Uzomah (1,098 yards and 8 TD's through 6 seasons) and his achilies injury, and Drew Sample, who is the world's biggest bum.

But I keep forgetting.  Our offense doesn't use the Tight End like others.  It's by design, and Zac Taylor definitely knows what he's doing.

The problem with pursuing Henry is there's a good chance that Pitts is the bpa at 5 if Sewell and Chase are gone.  

From another standpoint, the Bengals have been pursuing G's, CB's, and edge rushers in FA, which makes sense, as there are gaping holes in the starting lineup at those positions.  While we could definitely upgrade at TE, I think it's rightfully lower down the priority list.
