The Dean Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Let's move on from the QB discussion for a minute. We should see a few "acceptable" TEs available today. I don't expect anything earth shattering, but perhaps someone with some possible upside for depth, as our TEs haven't been too healthy lately. So far Mike Flacco and Kellen Davis have become available. Who else is likely to be sprung loose? (I didn't see this posted anywhere yet today. If so, delete or merge please.)

Kellyto83TD Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I am with you Dean, we need an upgrade, but for now a quality backup would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Besides qb, we've neglect no position like TE. If you want to give EJ everything to succeed, a good TE is a good start. Davis is a solid TE. I'd take him in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Kellen Davis Might rejoin the Gints' after week one, according to this story: http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2014/08/nfl_roster_cuts_te_kellen_davis_surprisingly_fails_to_make_roster.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I'm with you... A nice big target that can block or run down the seam and get open would be great. Moeki appears to be a lost cause...Gragg doesn't seem to be able to get on the field.... Considering how big chandler was to the offense last season, image adding to or upgrading that group.

Best Player Available Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I am with you Dean, we need an upgrade, but for now a quality backup would be good How about a quality starter instead?

bowery4 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I agree, we could use one. Chandler is okay but another would be nice. Now is the time since we didn't during the draft. Might be good to look for a guard too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Steve Maneri cut from the Patriots, if he was with them they saw potential in his blocking abilities, he could replace Lee Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headcase Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Steve Maneri cut from the Patriots, if he was with them they saw potential in his blocking abilities, he could replace Lee Smith. Converted tackle, so yes he has the size/ability to block; clueless as a receiver though. Blew his route in Preason game 3 against the Panthers that lead to Brady's pick6.

Jamie Nails Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I was a little tuned out this weekend and saw that Moeaki was IR'd. Anyone know if he got the designation to return IR or the done for the season version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Seeing how you only get 1 such designation per year, I doubt they wasted it on a guy who has contributed nothing and cannot stay on the field. You keep that incase a top player breaks an arm, or the like, that they will need 6 weeks off, not so you can potentially return to action your 3rd string TE for week 8, only so he can go back out on full IR on week 11.

I think that if you release a player with an injury settlement off IR, he must sit out for the amount of games you are paying him for, in the settlement, then he can sign with any team, and six weeks after the settlement games are up, he can sign with the same team that Ir's him. The player has to accept the settlement. And usually they want a certain number of games because it's more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I was a little tuned out this weekend and saw that Moeaki was IR'd. Anyone know if he got the designation to return IR or the done for the season version. I didn't even know he was IR'd. I been playing Madden for 3 days straight and I have him as my starter on Madden so I thought he was fine (I like to think my Madden Bills are the real ones). Oh how I wish the real Bills played the way my Madden guys do. Watkins is BEAST in Madden. If anyone else has the new Madden, take it from me, put Watkins as your #2 WR. He has a speed advantage over EVERY #2 CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Allen Reisner was somewhat of a surprise cut by the Vikes, but that said it's not like he's going to come in and light it up either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiezzz Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Are there any serviceable Tight ends available that are better than Chandler? Haven't seen one released as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
