The major offseason moves are over and the only tight-end on our roster that is even worth talking about is Robert Royal (Cooley is an H-back). Robert Royal started to produce late in the season, but he's hardly a "quality" starting tight-end. Moreover, Royal is more of a pass-catching tight-end; not the prototypical Gibbs' TE.
Is anyone else as surprised as I am about the tight-end situation? What do people think will happen between now and the season-opener to improve our depth at tight-end? Does anyone know if any tight-ends of note on other teams might be released?

Billy Baber was a FA TE signed this year and as far as the draft we picked up two undrafted in Bill Palmer out of Notre Dame and Dave Kashetta out of Boston College. Dave Kashetta was released when we signed Warrick Holdman. Billy Baber should be a good edition, he blocks well and is ok with route running but especially good on ST's
