We all agree that we have to create cap space to sign Pierce and most probably DJ.
What the OP is suggesting is that, one way to do that is to trade Pittman for what ever we can get, therefore, eliminating his $29 mil cap hit, and acquiring the same production from an elite TE, at roughly half of Pittman's salary.
Pittman has averaged 87 catches for 940 yds, and 10.8 yds. per, and a paltry 4 tds. Per season. Those numbers have been found down over the last few seasons. He will be 29 when the season starts.
It would not be difficult to find a TE who's younger, faster, cheaper, and just as productive.
