Sample doesn’t need to do much… make good blocks, catch a 5 yard pass here and there… just be more reliable this year and make the contested catches. His targets should be relatively low and if they aren’t something is terribly wrong by design.

If he wasn't going to be recovered by Week 1, he should have been cut a couple months ago. That's $5.3m that they could have put towards improving the team in a greater fashion than a #2 TE who can "catch a 5 yard pass here and there".
