MichaelWeston Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Tight end is another interesting spot. Everyone is a free agent -Hudson is either an RFA or UFA depending on where you look, regardless he should be back -Sample might get a decent payday. He is great for his role -Wilcox should be back.

|BlackJesus| Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Sample must be brought back because ironically blocking TEs are much harder to find in today's NFL than receiving ones. They are a throwback like fullbacks. On that list, Allie-Cox, Gesicki, and Fant intrigue me. I would kick the tires on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Yes, most teams don't carry fullbacks and use TEs (or even sometimes linemen) in short yardage situation for an extra blocker in the backfield. Ben Sinnot of Kansas State is a good H-back prospect for day 3. Isn't Will Dissly of the Seahawks also a free agent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on Wilcox, althogh he's solid on STs. Could definitely see Sample and Hudson back, but I woulnd't be shocked if Callahan went after them, too. Especially Sample. He's a real asset in the run game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
