Other guy was Hakeem Nicks. Brandon Stokley was my favorite WR ever brought in but I'm happy about the Aiken signing.

Ballard and Grigs both like them some TE's

Free agent TE Mychal Rivera is leaving his visit with Jets without signing a deal. Will visit with the Colts in Indy next. @gmfb @NFLonFOX

I cannot remember where it was stated but the Colts ran the most 2TE snaps in the league last year.

We need at least 3 viable NFL TEs in order to run the offense like Chud wants.

Brandon Williams smells like a ST signing to me; not a viable NFL TE.

Cheers,

Cheers,
This defensive system is supposed to have a DT position that is akin to the 4-3 UT as I understand it. He would fit that position fine.

To be fair, where this team has a shit feel for so many positions, TE is one of the positions where they seem to have a Midas touch.

Other than Doyle, none of these guys are what I would call physical, blocking TE's. We need to find a snot knocker who can help out is short yardage.

I don't want Doyle's role reduced to strictly blocking again, at $6 million + per year either.

No brainer really, Luck vs. whatever hack the Jets are going to throw out there.

It was reported they tried to sign Poe, so it sounds like they DID try to go after at least one big name free agent. They may have tried to offer deals to others, we don't know what all is happening there.
Two very reasonable explanations for not firing Pagano:

1) It was so late in the offseason that the new coach would not have his pick of assistants. Also, it would be hard to put in a new offense when the QB is out the entire offseason.

2) Irsay could be stalling until PM is on board so that he can pick the coach.
