Quote:Spin it however you want.   I'm glad we kept him, because we need a blocking TE on the team.   He fills a role.   He's not making huge money.  

I'm not 'spinning it' at all; this is just a common sense observation. A professionals first priority is their pay and job longevity. 'Loyalty' is a nice sentiment, but has little to do with the reality of the professional sports world. You are right though about our needing a blocking TE; given our ongoing penchant for not building a better offensive line we certainly do need a blocking TE. To bad we seem to have one or the other.

 

He does fill a role... homey the clown fills a role too, so what's your point? As for 'he's not making huge money'. That's a matter of opinion; I bet he makes more money than you or I do and we would've been fired long ago if we committed the gaff's he has in the workplace. He has been getting too much money for what he give us in return. He was supposed to be an offensive weapon... not just a light weight tackle. So in that regard, yes, he was making huge money for the return we got on it.
