What was the reason for the cut though?

That said, it's possible it's nothing serious. The Lions have Ebron, Pettigrew, Matthew Mulligan (a veteran blocker), and some other young prospects. 

Do it, do it.

The Ravens signed Ben Watson and he's a couple years older than Daniels.

He has 89 catches, 907 yards and 13 TDs across 3 seasons. Most of his damage came as a rookie, when he posted 571 yards and 5 TDs. He also had 259 yards and 6 TDs as a part time player for the Pats in 2014.

With Eifert possibly missing a few games, I think Wright would be a solid signing.

Not exactly solid evidence that Daniels is superior right now, as Daniels would've been behind those players as well. I'd argue that Wright's rookie season was better than any of Daniels' recent seasons. Plus he's way younger. Plus he's been a better RZ threat and that's what we're looking to replace.

Not saying either is a perfect candidate, but I'd prefer Wright - if he's healthy. I wouldn't mind Daniels though. We're lucky that options this good are still available.

Age is of zero concern to me as I am happy with our future at TE. As you say we have options. Hell Chris Cooley is trying to come back.

(05-27-2016, 08:11 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: Meh. The Pats haven't had anyone produce as a 2nd TE since the murderer. Age is a slight concern to me, because Daniels is at an age where he could have a steep decline at any point. Plus if we like what we see in Wright, we could hang on to him instead of say...Uzomah.

Fwiw, I'd say Chris Cooley is completely washed up. He has 9 catches since 2010 and hasn't played at all since 2012. He's a nice guy but he probably needs to move on. Daniels and Wright are definitely the best available options.

Believe it or not though, I'd say NE's offense might be a little different from 2011. Maybe BB wasn't bringing in these guys like Wright and Chandler (now Bennett) to play the Aaron Hernandez role. Maybe he's just been bringing in good backup TEs as insurance for that TE that seems so important to their offense, yet misses games constantly?

Looks like Daniels is the only reasonable option now, but the Bengals don't appear to be in any hurry to sign anyone.

I don't even think they've had any TE visits.
