He's a 2015 3rd round pick who played in 14 games (11 starts) last year and got 10 catches/92 yards (9.2 AVG)/0 TD.

That's textbook disappointment. It's not like he had a lack of opportunity, either. Eifert was either out or limited for most of the season, so Kroft played on 34.4% of the offensive snaps, or just 5% less than Eifert and 3.4% less than Uzomah.

I am not sure how over 1/3rd of the season's offensive snaps is "such limited play". Burkhead had 21.9% of the snaps in 2016 to impress. Josh Shaw impressed in 10.4% of the defensive snaps in 2015 to surpass Dennard on the depth chart for a starting role in 2016.

Snaps especially a young player with limited snaps do not insure that a player is not performing well... play calling etc comes into play.. tight ends also block.. as i stated before which you seemed to ignore.. Barnidge did nothing for 5 to 6 years... so with your mindset he should have been out of the league i guess... 
I don;t think after two years... we can just assume a player is no good.. again I guess you would have cut Dre also after two years and now look where he is.. but i guess you are a quick draw type thinker..
