    his only downside is he's overshadowed by ZACH ERTZ. He's extremely athletic making him pretty good receiving threat...... We all know we drafted JONNU SMITH, but Trey Burton could become Delanies workout partner - helping not only take the reigns afterwards, but speeding up JONNU's process.... Trey and Delanie could be the FRANK and ERRON of our time... at the very least, I'd feel much better about our TE's if they were WALKER, BURTON, SMITH -- as opposed to SUPERNAW involved anywhere...

    I’d be all for it as well - rotoworld even wrote a blurb how his situation may be simialir to Delanies back in the day.... backup who could be a starter and is in his mid 20s about to cash in

    Only problem is Jonnu as you mentioned - he’d be pretty much wasting a roster spot at that point

    Did you know who he was before yesterday?

    I'd rather get a good blocker. Joke about Exotic Smashmouth aside, Fasano was clearly missed in the running game.

    And for some stupid a$$ reason we cut Fowler.

    He had at least 1 good game when Ertz was out. Not sure how he is as a blocker but I think he’d be a good one to target.

    YES, i did. he stepped in vs the rams and put up 70 yards and 2 TD's.

    He must be able to block, was in on many, many plays, and the Eagles ran all over the PATS...... and threw....

    I liked him coming out of college, better than what we have, we should sign him

    MCL. He'll be fine in a few weeks.

    Because he wasn't very good. I don't think he was ever picked up either.

    While I don't think we need him as a TE depth, there's another way to look at wanting a player like Burton: He's capable of doing a lot of different things and being a match up problem in general. He's just a good player and we need more of that.

    With what I expect our offense to go to, we're going to want as many guys that can do multiple jobs as we can. I predict we're going to go more towards what the Eagles and Rams have done lately where we have a lot of guys who can do a lot of jobs and play multiple positions.

    Burton and a guy like Lewis or McKinnon would be great additions in FA to our offense if we go the way I think we will.
