Quote:Well, I hope you are wrong. Even with his improved play, he's not worth anywhere close to what he makes....and his salary goes UP as the last few years of his deal approach. (IIRC)

Yeah - it goes up next year.  6.7 mil from 4.5 then it drops marginally in 2015.   He's not playing like a $6.7 million TE to be sure.  In his defense they are using him as a blocker much more than a receiving TE. That doesn't help.  (not that he'd necessarily look like a $ 6.7 mil TE if they sent him out on routes constantly - but he hasn't had an opportunity to do so for the past 2 seasons.)  He's likely gone unless he makes a lot more plays like that 42 yard catch and run in the next few games.
