CJ had 73% of snaps/22% on ST, Sample had 42%/42% on ST, Wilcox 7% and 52% on ST. They use the position more than we think.
All 53 spots are valuable, especially with a 17th game and extra playoff game (unless you're #1). So, ideally if some truly feel that we don't use it that much and that there isn't much drop off from the 2, 3 and 4 guys I'm not opposed to keeping 2TE's and 2 on the PS........except that...
Hayden Hurst played 39% of snaps and a measley 2% on ST. He missed 4 games and had a superhero in front of him, but the ST snaps are telling. We are going to keep 3 and guys 2 and 3 are going to play heavy ST snaps.
Since we are trying to win a ring, we have to address both the issue of losing a top 3 WR (with Hurst likely getting more usage) and losing Hurst to injury. You really need more out of the TE position that what we have, both on ST and in passing, since Sample is a solid blocker.
So, I'm on board with those that are scouring the waiver wire come cut time if Wilcox, Moss or others don't stand out. Hopefully Sample improves, but the position would look really good with a better #2 him at #3 and getting more snaps on ST. Point being, it wouldn't take much to turn this "trouble spot" to a solid group.
