PirateHookerMD Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 There goes Croom and Fisher probably. Kroft/Lee/Knoxx. Sweeney/Fisher/Croom maybe for a last spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Man, we are leaving no stone left unturned in our search for a better TE group. I love that Beane refuses to just stand pat and is constantly seeking improvement. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I was never a big fan of his. Definitely don’t understand signing him now after we just drafted two and signed Kroft and fisher. I figured fisher would never make it regardless but now you’re pushing Sweeney to the practice squad and Croom is gone for sure. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 1 yr maybe but 3 is foolish. He'll be 32 in November. Averages 8 catches for 75 yards? Odd signing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) He is one of the very best blocking tight ends in the game. The way I see the likely makeup of that room now is Kroft is your do all guy, Smith is your blocking TE, Knox is your receiving TE. Croom and Sweeney are battling for a spot on the roster with the 6th or 7th receiver, the 4th or 5th back and the 9th offensive lineman.

Mark80 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 McBeane on the forefront of a game revolution. Starting offense - 1 QB, 2 HBs, 8 TEs. Who's gonna be prepared to stop that? 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a lot. all depends on the guarantee. a $500K signing bonus, with vet min guarantee, means a 1 year deal..and if he is good they have him locked up for the 2 more.

DrDawkinstein Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The most questionable move Beane has pulled, imo. Dont like this at all. But I'll trust the process... for now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassgixxer05 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Hes one of the better blocking TEs in football. I know most will hate it here, but with a young QB the main game plan is still going to be pounding the rock for awhile.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

******* Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) So Croom and Fisher are probably not making the team is what this means. Do we keep a 4th TE in Sweeney? Edited May 13, 2019 by ******* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I compare this to the Derek Anderson addition last year. I think you are adding a veteran who plays his butt off to a room full of young guys. I think he is a very limited player, but I think is a addition will be huge for the tight end room imo, especially in terms of teh development of Dawson Knox. Smith is basically what we hope Fisher could become. I'm interested to see the guaranteed money here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, he’s a great teammate. All I remember from his time here is us calling a perfect pass play at the goal line and him tripping on his feet and blowing an easy td. if you combine all of our TEs, would they even have 1,000 yards? I’m glad they are trying to improve the position but it’s like they are just shopping at the dollar store. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badassgixxer05 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Come season start, this team is going to have some sick ass depth that's for sure. May of been what has been missing all these years. Good players with no depth leaves you in a ton of trouble if the injury bug ever hits. With depth, we should be able to keep the ship smooth sailing and hopefully be in a good place when playoffs roll around. Go bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
