Age, as in the actual number means little, compared to the number of jarring collisions collected on the body. To put it in perspective, I've seen 5 year old trucks that were done, because they not only had 150K on them, but they lived a hard 150K. Hope that analogy makes sense.
Up until the last 2 years he wasn't even utilized that way. So he took a pounding for the last 2 years, yet is more durable than our starting TE? Again, love eifert he is a difference maker but even his pro bowl
Year his TD rate was unsustainable.
Barnidge, or any capable TE as a #2 here that likely starts at least 3 games is more valuable than people realize. With that said, he won't come here, and at some point this season we are starting Kroft at TE. Or UZ if he isn't hurt as bad as it looks
