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
Whoa, we're going in circles, here. This whole thing started when I asserted that Barnidge wants starter money. He's not fast, but he's got good hands and route skills. He's older. I'm saying that the Bengals aren't going to pony up whatever he considers "starter money", plus he may spend more time in the training tank than on the practice field. That doesn't go over very well in Bengal land.
Heck, we don't even know if Uzomah is really injured, or if it's just a sprain..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
