    Do you think he is a possibility? Would help us and hurt Cleveland, and having Miller as a teacher/ #2 would be a nice 1-2 punch.

    Too expensive and too injury prone. If memory serves me correct he has had a few concussions.

    I question whether he'd be expensive because of the concussion issues.

    Unless I'm thinking of someone else, he's a terrible blocker, not exactly Steelers TE material. Plus the other issues people mentioned, no thanks.

    Two ways for TE'S to block . Old School or by being a true pass catching threat . TE'S can create huge space in Zone PA schemes . I would like to have 2 different type guys for different schemes.

    1 guy like Miller who is a good pass blocker, run blocker, and a good pass catcher .
    The other guy who could line up outside in the slot or on the line and possess true speed and size the Gronk , Gates , Graham type guys not sure I would put Cameron in that type of a TE.

    That's my line of thought, too. I would really like to see this team acquire/utilize a TE of that vein.

    I haven't watched Cameron closely enough to know if he's a bad blocker. I like what he brings as a pass catcher, but I think he's a pretty big question mark due to his injury history. If the price is low enough, the reward outweighs the risk. I'm down.

    I think the price will be too high considering the risks, and with our very limited budget and gaping holes on defense, I'd much prefer to draft a TE in the mid-rounds.

    Also, even as Heath declines, I think we're okay at the position. I'd love a big, speedy pass catcher at the position too, but with our offense as it is, we're not dying for it. I think with our receivers, RB, and QB, it's actually more important they can run block. Miller and Spaeth are a big part of Bell's success.

    What about Cameron Jordan? He catches passes from Big Ben too, lol. Is he a free agent?

    I would know; had him on my fantasy team. Not only concussion but a long lingering should injury, which could be fixed in the off season, I would assume. On talent alone, I'd love him - all factors considered, I am not sure.

    No. He could barely stay on the field with the Clowns. He had lingering concussion and shoulder injuries last season, as well as concussions earlier in his career. Once you start getting them, it will rain concussions on him for the rest of his career. It will be harder for him not to get another.
