Phlegm Alley Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I do hope that this is one part of the team that TD has to upgrade this offseason. IMO, he will try to sign a FA for $1M or less, maybe just a veteran insurance policy just in case Euhus or Campbell doesn't come back 100% from their injuries.

Ozymandius Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 i don't think he'll be cheap, and if we're going to bring a TE in at his price tag, that person should be able to block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 As long as our starting TE is black, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1864 Here's a guy who can flat out block. Doesn't catch much, outside of short TD's. Vet minimum. Peters is still here, along with Trafford. Can't see a big investment at TE, with other more glaring needs ( OT,OG ) I guess a lot depends on how the Bills see the healing progress of Campbell and Euhus.

That said, Patrick Hape looks like the perfect composite of a Bills TE. Get it done TD! With Mularkey and TD mentioning that the offense the Bills will run with Losman will be a bit different than what we saw this past season, I was thinking it would be nice to add an athletic, pass receiving TE. Riemersma was really the last TE we had that was much of a receiving threat, and he was more of a pass "batter" than a pass catcher..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Wiggins caught a lot of balls last year and looked very good doing it, but that offense was kind of an abberration and I am not sure if Wiggins is really one of these late bloomers or not. In previous six years he caught like 16, 2, 8, 14, 2 and 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In previous six years he caught like 16, 2, 8, 14, 2 and 8. 265216[/snapback] Wiggins is a great story. In the snow bowl Super Bowl year for the Pats he caught 10 passes. The ball was coming out ot Brady's hands like a helicopter. Wiggins made some of the greatest catches under pressure and in bad footing that I've ever seen. The Pats rewarded him by not inviting him to camp. He languished in New Orleans as a 3rd TE and the Vikes picked him up and the rest is history. He led the Vikes with 71 catches. He's a smart but not powerful blocker and has great hands. I think he would help a 2nd year QB immensely and of course sticking it to NE would be great.

bills_fan Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I do hope that this is one part of the team that TD has to upgrade this offseason. IMO, he will try to sign a FA for $1M or less, maybe just a veteran insurance policy just in case Euhus or Campbell doesn't come back 100% from their injuries. If we get DeMulling & Shelton, with Holcomb in the fold and TD likely to sign a vet RB to "serve as mentor to McGahee" (in the words of Lenny P), I think TE is where we are headed in the draft. TE or CB are the most likely spots for us to use our # 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
