They've said they reached out to every team and no one wanted to trade for him. Don't know if that's because of what they wanted or that no one wants to pay for distressed goods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why trade away assets, knowing the Raiders were going to cut him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why give up even a 7th for him when we can use that pick for a guy like Gunter (sp). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had traded for him would they have gotten his contract and salary, too? If he lasts to 31, take him. But doubt if he lasts that long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryker57 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 if they claim him they get his contract and salary too. lol and i guess since they are cutting him , you could say the raiders said no also, so that would kinda be 32 nos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 25 minutes ago, membengal said: So...there's your 3rd TE So, did 30 teams pass on him, and the Bengals claimed him? Do they have to claim before signing? How does this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 I think because of years of service he became a FA not subject to waiver process. So, no, 31 teams didn't pass on him, after Bills cut him he was free to go where he wants and there is an interested team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure helps having a QB like JB since both Hurst and OJ will benefit themselves for their next contracts playing with him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I heard some talk about him being a problematic player, i.e. attitude or locker room or whatever? He's a TE that I've actually heard of and was a surprise cut, plus we really needed another TE, so on the surface it seems like a really nice pickup. Thoughts?

I am not smarter than you....however I think they cut a guy and ate 3 million to do so. That's bad. He has always been a rare athlete and never had incredible production. He is 28. I think this is more of a flash then quality pickup. Wanted other dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 We needed a pass catching TE to fill in should Hurst miss anytime. Howard fits that bill. Fine by me. We had NO depth behind Hurst. Now we have some depth at pass catching TE. Sample run blocking TE not sufficient depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
