I have no problem with an upgrade at TE, but I don't think Moss or any other TE we have signed will bump Sample off the roster. Uzomah will be our #1 and sample #2.
It's 100% that he was taken in the 2nd round.
If he had been a Day 3 pick, people (including myself) would be more accepting.
There are very few teams who would be willing to spend anything less than a Day 3 pick on a blocking TE who isn't above average as a pass catcher.
None of the TEs they have will bump Sample off the roster. He's fine as a TE2, but he's not what I (and most fans) want in a TE1.
I realize that Sample was not the TE1 to start the season last year, so hopefully Uzomah takes that role back over.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
