    He's a UFA and almost certainly won't be back.

    I wouldn't mind him being brought back at least for camp/etc....he could be the 3rd TE and a BU FB...if they draft a better TE then he can go....but still I'm all for bringing him back.

    Seriously?

    For camp fodder maybe... but there really must be people out there who can do all this and yet still not be David Johnson.

    Will Johnson played to well this season in the FB position, which is what DJ would have been if he had not gotten hurt. I think Will only gets better from here. If DJ does not find a home, he might get an invite to camp, but I doubt he makes the team.

    I hope not. I think we only have room for 1 FB/TE hybrid. I think we should find another pure TE to join Paulson and W. Johnson.

    since he got hurt last year, is the reason i think they will bring him back. will j will remain the FB, but dj was used as both. we still have mccoy after 3 yrs. on the PS and they picked up pianalto , he's a TE and pretty decent if he could stay healthy. at least until heath can get back on the field. he is familier also. i guess it would depend on his knee too though.:cool:
