[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 116534, member: 195"] Considering McCarthy's fondness for tight ends, I'm sure he will be requesting more help in that area from Thompson. This Iowa guy seems to fit the bill, as the Packers can't afford to spend a high pick on a tight end. Bubba Franks is the only TE who is sure to be back next year, and it's more because of his contract than his performance. He is doing a fine job blocking, however. He has just gotten out of synch with the passing game because the ball is coming his way so seldom these days. David Martin will be a free agent. I don't expect him to draw much interest considering his injury history, but you never know. A team like the Lions will sometimes make a surprising offer to a player like that. Donald Lee doesn't seem to fit McCarthy's scheme very well, so I suspect he will be gone next year in spite of his receiving talents. And Tory Humphrey is an unknown who will remain that way for at least another year, as he was put on injured reserve this week. I have heard good things about Zach Alcorn, who was just promoted from the practice squad this week, and I expect him to definitely be in the mix next year. I would like to see him get some game action this season. [/QUOTE]
