[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 866189, member: 6578"] Hooper and Henry are going to price themselves above what logic tells me we should do so let's erase that as an option. Other TE's out there: -Marcedes Lewis - sign him. He loved it here, will be great veteran in the locker room and still has serious blocking chops and exhibited while he is a lumbering specimen his hands are good still. OKAY now for to me the real discussions possible...sadly outside of Hooper and Henry let's be clear there are NO guarantees: [B]Jacob Hollister - [/B]The ex-Patriot traded over to the Seahawks filled in when injury struck and did quite admirably. 41 receptions, 350 yards and 3 TDs. Many seem incredibly undecided on him...but at 26 years old, with enough tape study a team may like what they see. [B]Eric Ebron[/B] - I keep forgetting he is only 26 years old...and his raw chops cannot be questioned...however he reminds me of a young James Jones hands wise, but has struggled for years there. He is a serious red zone threat for sure, and if he ever figures the hands thing he seriously would be a top 5 arguably, top 10 TE without a doubt. He made $5Million last year, had a slightly down year and I fear he is going to enjoy the limited TE pool pay wise, but still could be worth a study and discussion.
