    His last decent season was 2022. Maybe he can help as a third tight end, but he might just be a camp body.

    He can be a core special teams player that is why he was signed

    #3 as a blocking TE

    Ah ha !! The plan is to deploy the 4 Quarterback, 5 Tight End set. The rest of the AFC North is doomed !!

    If Johnson and Reid couldn't find a use for him, I highly doubt he's useful at this point (as an offensive weapon). Maybe he can block for Warren and Dowdle.

    A meh signing....

    i see him as more of a redzone sneaky TD type. i think rodgers will look for him in those situations as more coverage will lean towards friermuth and washington down there. if we can squeeze 3-4 TDs and some first down situations out of him in that way it will be worth the pickup. he has good hands. i just don't see him going down the seam much anymore. :cool:
