mgilgris Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 I was wondering what everyone thought about the possiblity of taking a TE in free agency. I noticed that there are some pretty decent receiving TE's in free agency. This would be one solution to filling some gaps, despite the fact that their are some good possible options in the draft. The big TE out of ND could be a possible option in the second round otherwise. Quote
turningpoint Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 no they alll suck, might as well bring back schobel. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 what turningpoint said. I don't think there are any decent TE's in FA. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 what turningpoint said. I don't think there are any decent TE's in FA.I'll third that. Lets get Pope out of Georgia if we get any TE's. Quote
kingwilly Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 I think the TE FA's are not so good for the $ they demand. Poor Value vs draft talent... Quote
Stripes Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 I agree with everyone here... We could use a new tight end, but with so much talent at the position available in the draft this year, we'll be able to pick up a solid player. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Only if addressed during the draft, don't bother during free agency...WHODEY !!! Quote
jbengals1 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 I can see a Mercedes pulling into cincinnati's parking lotUCLA's Mercedes Lewis (58 catches and 2005 winner of the John Mackey award as top collegiate tight end). Quote

If we are going to use our first rounder on a tight end, Pope is far more of an all purpose TE. Quote
skyline Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Marvin doesn't want a big name pass-catching TE. He's said that numerous times. He wants TEs that can block and enhance the running game, and he's already got a couple of guys that fit that mold. Quote
derekshank Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Brandon Manumaleuna from St. Louis is the very definition of the kind of TE we need. He's known for his incredible blocking skills (like having a 6th O-linemen) but he has soft hands too. My guess is he'll re-sign with the Rams... but if we were going to get a starting TE in FA (which I don't expect) this is the guy I'd want. Quote

Kazkal Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 even if we draft a TE we probbley need keep schobel for depthI can see a Mercedes pulling into cincinnati's parking lotUCLA's Mercedes Lewis (58 catches and 2005 winner of the John Mackey award as top collegiate tight end).carsons gonna love throwing to him guess carsons jersey will be good fit Quote
AMC Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 I see them drafting a TE and bringing up Ghent from the PS..... Quote

I'm still hoping we don't waste a pick on a tight end on day 1. Frankly, I think Stacy the dancing bear can do the job of standing in front of people and pretending occasionally to run a couple yards to fake a route. Mostly we use our tight end as a blocker.

AMC Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Marcedes vs. Pope????No contest....take Pope....Marcedes may be slipping after a so-so Senior Bowl week...actually falling behind Klopfenstein from Colorado and the like...Pope would be my man....but TE in the 1st would be iffy....3 round for a guy would be better....
