You may actually be able to target a TE that works great as a receiving threat but sucks every where else. You don't need that all around monster. Or we could try and develop Reyes. Since we refused to throw that man a ball I have no idea what level of confidence to have in him right now. Yep it’s more the receiving threat I think we need to add.

I wouldn't count on Reyes much and they obviously don't. Bates was the top rated blocker and showed a lot of promise in the passing game. You aren't designing a lot of deep outs for the guy, but he did great finding soft spots in zones and bailed Heinicke out a bunch of times. He has really soft hands and is smart. I think he has a great career ahead of him. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giddy4Gibson Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I am excited to see what Reyes can do with the ball in his hands. Sounds like he just had a ton to learn between the ears but the physical metrics are off the charts good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never produced as a college basketball player, I don't see him producing as a professional football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhd24 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Dallas's biggest FA (IMO) is Dalton Schultz. He's extremely underrated. Losing him (and Amare) would be big blows to their offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would be a good signing. I agree. He needs a 1 year prove it deal to reestablish his value. There are probably better situations for him with a better QB but he'd get a ton of playing time here, especially with Logan Thomas likely to be on PUP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Gronk & Brate were ahead of him, but TE isn't a need position for us. Schultz is a much better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we just extended Leno a few weeks ago NFL players on rookie deals can not get new deals until the completion of their third year. I believe Mclovin is in his third year until the new league year begins, sending him to his forth year. The team has made it known they want to extend him, and I'm not sure if they are allowed to have "something in place", but I don't think we are allowed to ink him to a new deal until he is in his forth year. (In March I think) Leno, as a player who is not on a rookie deal, is not subject to such a rule.

Koolblue13 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I've wanted Howard for years. Wanted to draft him and was mad we didn't, but if you can't totally blow up as a TE with Brady as your QB, you're probably not going to. Bates and Thomas/RSJ is a great group. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesMadisonSkins Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Not sure how cheap Howard will truly be. I know he got buried in Tampa ... and he has a ton of potential ... but I have a hard time seeing him flash in Year 6 all of a sudden. I would absolutely kick the tires on him for a cheap 1-2 year deal and would be really happy to have his talent in the TE room, but I wouldn't expect much other than some solid depth and some ability to split out wide on occasion while Thomas recovers from the ACL. TE is a position where I think we are okay, but we COULD upgrade it if the right pieces fell into place and kind of double-down on our offensive identity. I do have some confidence that John Bates could develop into a quality TE1 over time. He showed a lot of flashes this year, but I do think having him + a guy who is more of a pass-catcher would be great. Bates is a good blocker. George Kittle is an elite level blocker and he completely disappears for games at a time because they keep him in to block because he is so good. If Bates can be 75% of that type of player for us, I think we could use more of a pass-catching TE. That is Logan Thomas, but I wouldn't mind going out and getting a Njoku/Howard type to come in and play out wide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s more than good, I think he’s an elite blocker right now. His development is really exciting because he performed well across the board. He’s never going to be a move TE weapon on the pass game but he can absolutely pick up big chunks of yards and his hands are phenomenal. We definitely should look for a vet receiving TE to play while Logan heals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Let's talk MLB, the QB of the Defense and clearly the biggest missing piece that isnt a QB. I dont think this is a hole we fill in the draft. We're either going to draft a QB in the first or trade that pick for a QB, so I think it has to be free agency What does the board know about Foyesade Oluokun? I've never watched him, but according to PFF he's going to get paid and was the 3rd highest rated FA LBer. From PFF: 2021 TEAM ATL PROJECTED CONTRACT 4 yrs — $10m avg/yr $22.5m guaranteed, $40m total Oluokun leads the way for a very underwhelming free-agent class at off-ball linebacker, though his timing of reaching unrestricted free agency could work out nicely in his favor. This past offseason, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner and subsequently Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard reset the market at the position at just under $20 million per year after years of stagnation. With Oluokun one of the few young players available, a market could develop for him that exceeds expectations. Kyzir White from LA Chargers and Leighton VE from Dallas? Anyone that's going to be a cap casualty? Edited January 25, 2022 by Inigo Montoya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
