But the second and biggest reason why I wouldn't do it is because of Herm Average. He has little desire to pass the ball much and no need to pay top dollar for a TE that is going to spend most of his time being asked to block. The third and final reason is in this day and age with TE's being used a lot more in the NFL and starting to get paid we have seen a lot more good athletes playing the position in college making for a lot more available TE talent.
Nappy is right. I am glad TG is a Cheef. I like to see the franchise players stay with their teams anyway. Too bad Herm will shorten his career by making him block.
