Because Jacobs is the perfect fusion of Jello and paper.

He's a very good blocker, huge size, and an excellent receiver in his own right.

And the price would be right, too. Since he got cut last week i haven't heard his name yet visiting anyone.

Wiggins is nothing more than a Cooley clone. Wiggins is only 10lbs heavier than Cooley. I agree with Schneed10

Football is a situational game. There are situations when having two pass catching TEs does you very little good. You need a TE on the roster that can line up and just mash an LB or even a DE in a run blocking situation.

Our goalline offense still isn't where I'd like it to be. If you're truly smashmouth, you line up when everyone and their grandmother knows you're going to run, and you run it anyway. And if you're truly smashmouth, you make the yardage. We need a bulldozer at TE.

I have said this before and got ridiculed...

two words: LaVar Arrington

We are going to look around as the free agent market slows down and the money drys up. Then we will pick up the players we need and this is were great FO win super Bowls!

Yep. Depth is kinda important in the NFL. "Why are we TE shopping"....jeeesh.

Then bring in a rookie, not a named TE. We don't need that. It only causes upset among the veteran players..... JEEEEEEEEESH!

They key word here is depth. If they were shopping for a starter then we could say what the F is going on. But otherwise is this really worth getting upset over?

I didn't read the entire thread, so excuse me if this was said before...

Another option would be to look at FB. If we could get a good run blocking FB, either in FA or via the draft, then we could move Sellers to TE. It's just a thought considering the lack of quality blocking TEs.

Please, you know you love shopping.

Although, I do agree that we have more pressing needs.
