    This doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. Didn't have a good season, 8 drops on 44 targets for 200+ yards. And I don't think he blocks well but not sure on that.

    He was one of the TE's the Steelers worked out last offseason. He's definitely not a receiving threat, but he is a pretty decent blocker.

    Either way, it's just a depth move, and who knows if they'll sign him anyway. :smiley1:

    We signed Plax back AND a FA QB...that was a bone yard in terms of Steelers FA moves. :lolol:

    I hope that meaningful signing comes as Keenan Lewis.

    I'd be fine with this guy as a depth move...he has some experience to top it off. Not sure who else is out there I havent looked...

    They didnt even make Lewis an offer to turn down, I think they want Allen starting.

    Kellen Davis. Slow. Bad hands.

    Pass.

    On second thought, run!

    I thought that Keenan was a sure sign by the way he talked on twitter saying he's happy. Seems like nobody wants to re-sign with us. The locker room must have been in real shambles last year or they know we will not compete! looks like we are going to waste the final years of Ben's career on catching up on the cap.

    Why not just keep Leonard Pope he knows the offense already instead of a player who is not a receiving threat.

    Out of that list...not many stand out. Keller does a little...but not sure what hes asking or whatever....probably too much.
