Captain F Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The guy wants out. Could be a solid piece with injuries to Ertz and Goedert. Maybe a 6th for him? He had a lot of hype out of college and Cleveland basically ruined him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hmm... Late round pick...As a long term TE#2? I could get behind that if it were to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBhunter58 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I would honestly give our 5th to kick the tires on him (i would do a 4th if we had one). hell Ertz- Njoku straight up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20dawk4life Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I like the idea but he's set to make 6 million next year. Unless we can lower that salary we'd have to pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoop Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 These are the types of deals we need to be making. He's still young with a ton of upside and we could use him as a backup for Goedert if we end up trading Ertz during the off-season. Shouldn't be expensive to get. Shouldnt be expensive to keep. I am all for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for it. I'd agree with that. If we could get him for a late round pick and then restructure his contract to lower that cap hit then I think that's a good move to make. But it is entirely reliant on doing those things and I'm not sure how realistic that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochis_Calhoun Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Just find a tall pass catching TE in the late rounds or as a UDFA at the next draft, Richard Rodgers has 184yards through two games as starting TE, we don't need to trade and pay $6million for a back up tight end, we need a tall guy with decent hands and sheer volume of targets will make him a top 5 TE playing in our offense, that's why Ertz is looking for a payday but the team are stalling, it's not rocket science. Plus if we trade for someone at Njoku's perceived level, we'll play more 12 personnel when everyone is healthy and we suck in 12 personnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but we're literally the worst in the league playing 2 TE sets. Teams are better than us playing 2 no name TE's than we are with 2 supposedly great TE's.

Sure he's 6'5" but he's only 230LBS. He can't really lineup along the oline because he will be destroyed. By comparison Ertz is 250 and Goedert 256 and both are considered smaller for TEs. Gronk for example is 265. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I don't really understand why they plan to turn him in to a TE? Doesn't make a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathByEagle Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I just dont see him worth a trade. Contract year, hasnt been impressive in Cleveland. Now as a number 2 or 3 sure. Our priority should be on resigning Goedert at this point. As for Bulter, I like bring him in. I however still like him as a WR, not TE. His only play vs the Ravens was at WR on the edge on the jump ball play in the redzone. With his size, strenght and speed I think he can make it as a WR if hes coached up on the route tree and given some good separation routes.

Godfather Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 He's the only guy I'd make a trade for. Replaces Ertz after we ship him off in the offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
