people paid to cover football seems to be praising WFT, hopefully it translates to the field.
TE is like cooley, but faster/jumps higher/blocks
he played real h-back (only 20 years late for gibbs 2.0). he didn't have the crazy 1,200 yard college season though, but he was playing better competition. I'd be shocked if he wasn't playing significant time pretty early in the season (partially because the other TEs here are old guy ertz and nothing else).
as far as the DT, payne is here 2-3 more years and allen 2 more years on their current contracts. JN is here 4 years. So if the team can't/doesn't want to sign both (or wants to work a trade) they at least have a cheaper option (assuming he can play). Peters did ask DQ if it'd be a problem getting them all playing time and he said no, so the plan is to use them all in some kind of rotation.
They did take an OT... I'd be a bit surprised if he's starting week 1, but his competition is awful :/. I would still be looking for a move at OT if something looks like it's available.
Now it's time to see if the coaches can turn this jumble of players into a team that's significantly better than last year's garbage fire.
