 I've never stated to stay pat on TE but also know we only have so much capital to spend in a yr so let's try to sign a better FA TE to 2 yr deal and  sign Hudson also. The more I read this draft is thin at TE might not get much in 2 to 4 , so look next year at 2/3 round TE, maybe add a blocking TE late in draft this year especially if we don't sign Sample.

It was the right decision to move on from Hurst but that guy had superb hands and make spectacular catches. He also knew how to grind out extra yards after he catch. Was he a good blocker? No, but he was a hell of an athlete.
