Cooley's battling for a spot with Morris really

Interesting, Paulsen over Cooley huh? I wouldn't be shocked at this since the #3 TE is rarely used as a receiving option but at his salary and with Paulsen being a better blocker I guess I can see it. Pretty clear that Shanahan wants Paul to be the #2 TE and since he's much younger and cheaper than Cooley it makes sense. Let's not forget that Paul got a ton of snaps last year at WR even though he wasn't targeted much.
