Been seeing some rankings highlighting Evan Moore as a sleeper TE. Not anymore. $4M a year and 6M+ guaranteed is more than I expected him to get. Who else catches the ball in CLE? MoMass and Robiskie? Cribbs? Watson interests me now.
They still need a QB though.
Seneca Wallace isn't that bad. Not a guy you want to build your offense around, but Holmgren knows him well.
I hope you're not talking about his hands when you say "inconsistant". We signed one of those last year in Royal. You know, I was just hoping we'd take a shot at Olsen. Sigh...
Definitely seems to be inconsistent, but to be fair, the Pats have really never featured the TE in the passing game. Watson had some good games, but seemingly when Moss and the other WRs were well covered.
...and it's always on a big play. Something like a third and eight and he fumbles after gaining nine yards so a painful play becomes even more painful. Fauk was like this earlier in his career as well but eventually overcame it.
explain this post? do you think that he is too old, too bad, or what?From my viewpoint, I think that he will provide a dynamic pass-catching option at the TE position that we have been missing for the last 2 seasons.This signing does not make any sense at all.
He's a good athlete and a poor football player, for every good play he makes he makes 3 lousy ones. I understand the veteran presence but it's needed at the WR position a lot more than TE. Moore/Royal and a developmental prospect (i.e. Jimmy Graham) would have been just fine for this season.explain this post? do you think that he is too old, too bad, or what?From my viewpoint, I think that he will provide a dynamic pass-catching option at the TE position that we have been missing for the last 2 seasons.This signing does not make any sense at all.
I think it's been a foregone conclusion for awhile that Watson wasn't coming back, but Olsen to NE makes so much sense for both teams that you have to think there's a decent chance of it happening. I guess it depends on how much they like the TE's in the draft relative to what they'd have to give up for Olsen and how highly they value him.
It doesn't put a damper on the rumor...Right now the Pats do not have a TE on their roster. I see zero scenarios where they don't go into the year with at least one and probably two veterans being added. The fact that there offense is pretty complex makes it very unrealistic to expect a rookie to jump right in and play at a full-time starter level. Now whether one of those veterans is Olsen remains to be seen but the the Pats have shown in the past they are more than willing to give up a draft pick or two for a veteran they like at a position of need as Moss, Welker, Dillon, Ted Washington, Burgess, the atrocious Doug Gabriel, the MIA Greg Lewis and the horrible Duane Starks were acquired that way.
He was there in '05 and '06... when NE had JAG's like Eyeballs Caldwell and Jabbar Gaffney at Wide out. He just isnt very good. He might have a good game here or there... but he is strictly a match-up play.
I would have preferred something like $9 million, but $12 is ok.Hopefully he's not going to fumble a lot like the Pats fans are saying?
