I don't think anyone is looking at him as the big fix for the TE drought in Jacksonville. Just a piece of the puzzle that at the least prevents a starting lineup of 2 street free agents in week 14.

Below is what the Ravens would be losing / gaining by trading him prior to June 1st this year. O'Shaughnessy is making less than that. So is Josh Oliver.

If you're forking over a draft pick, no matter how high or low in value. I would be led to believe he's here to be the starter based on his salary alone. Not to be Numero Dos.

$3M to pay for a rotational back up or 2nd stringer seems foolish. I get the idea of wanting "quality" depth. But they're looking at more holes on defense right now and that $3M could be a difference maker elsewhere in regards to maybe keeping a current starter or not.

We'll see.
