Nah. They wasted a preseason roster spot on a has-been instead of properly evaluating a young 4th round pick that had a couple of unfortunate injuries. 

How many players have they signed or drafted coming off major injuries this offseason?  6? 7? Oliver's injury history pales in comparison to a couple of those additions. 

We'll probably never know the real reason they (stupidly) moved on from Oliver prematurely just like Meyer isn't going to give reporters an honest answer about Tebow in a presser. But you can got ahead and buy up the "too many injuries and ST contribution" line if you'd like.
 I'm not buying that [BLEEP].

I dont think giving Tebow a shot had anything to do with trading Oliver.  Do you think 6'6" Oliver can be an impact on Special Teams?  Did you see the presser today from Meyer talking about what he wants from his TE's?  One was blocking and the back up TEs have to be able to be good at ST's, I dont think he can do either in those departments on top of not being able to stay healthy is why he got traded.

Do you think Meyer is lying about what he wants out of his TE's or do you think Oliver is a good blocker and can make an impact on ST's?
