I know, that was just a joke.
Alize Mack, never heard of the guy and his salary shows his experience. Sal Cannella, also never heard of him and I'd be surprised if he makes the team. I may have missed that they have been on the team the whole time, but neither of them make me feel good about the position. Dafney being cut doesn't surprise me, nor do I think it makes much of a difference. I personally think they need to shore the TE position up. Maybe look at some later surprise TE cuts from other teams. Just my humble opinion.
I desired they go get Kyle Rudolph for cheap during FA so I'm not opposed to addition for sure.
Cannella was a later addition. He is a receiving type thread at TE - he can catch and run...but who knows what else.
Of the guys still on the market I'm 100% in support of bringing back Jared Cook...about 85% fine with signing Eric Ebron too. Both of those guys have still been producing despite mid-30s even up to last year. Cook has put up 500+ yards 5 out of the last 5 years with 564 just last season. Ebron four out of the last 6 and has only been health which has kept him from that...last year he couldn't stay healthy but just in 2021 he put up 558 yards and 5 TDS playing 70% of the teams' snaps.
Folks will not like this, but Jimmy Graham is also out there. Until last season on an abysmal team he had never had a season under 400 yards in the last decade...including two with us tallying 1,083 yards and 5 TDs. He isn't a #1 anymore, nor will we be paying him to be such (dang did we overpay him...)....but this would be a near vet-minimum type deal solely to shore up receiving portion of that room....
The issue with signing any of these guys is ST help....you keep Cannella or Mack you are getting ST help...I kinda doubt any of those mentioned above are asked to play ST....and you know big dog doesn't do a ton outside of blocking on field goals I'd guess...and Tonyan won't be risked.
