Traveler Vic Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 We need to bring him back (For many reasons....). Did anyone hear any news about Trey??? He is free to sign with anyone...what's the holdup up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'd rather bring back Rodgers who can also block. Burton was fine here as the 3rd TE behind Ertz and Celek in Doug's offense, with Reich here and Wentz here (always looking to the TEs more than he should). With our new coaching staff and a QB room with no familiarity with Burton, what's the appeal? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only let him go because he got payed to be the guy at TE, and he never lived up to that. But as the number two if the price is right? I think he would be worth a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricAllenPick6 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Nostalgia doesn't win championships. Also, I'm beginning to think that Zach Ertz is going to be an Eagle in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not have great receiver threat...you need good TEs. They can create separation through their size. A QBs best friend is a good TE. Burton is familiar with the Colts offense , good guy, and will fit right in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-1000 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 They should just bring back Dick Rod who is actually a pretty solid backup TE and look to draft someone in the middle rounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'd rather see who they draft or pick up as a UDFA. I doubt he'll sign between now and then, and if he does then it's not a big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 If his groin is healed, then he could be a great #2 with a team in a city that loves him. Howie should check-out his groin - I think that’s the GM’s job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an experienced second TE opposite Dallas for 2 TE sets. Under Doug, and this is JMHO, we fell in love with 12 personnel and tried to milk all we could out of it to our own detriment. We failed repeatedly to get our WRs involved properly. I think it's a good package to have in your offense, but it should never be the desired look. Honestly, it's more useful to use on running plays because you should benefit from adding a more effective blocker --- that's assuming your extra TE can block reasonably well. When you fall in love with passing out of this, well ... you saw what happens. Teams expect it and the TEs are less efficient as pass catchers. We need to start throwing to WRs again. We don't need our 3 most targeted receivers to be TEs. I do like Trey Burton as a TE3. In games where Ertz was hurt, Burton stepped in and did a nice job. But we don't need to sign him as much as we need to get our current WRs like Reagor and Fulgham involved and established as threats that must be accounted for. edit for clarification: I may have worded my previous post poorly --- I meant neither Hurts nor Flacco (the QB room) have any familiarity with Burton --- so it's not like we'd be rekindling an old connection.

Fresh_Prince Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 At the Parade Trey Burton singled me out in the crowd and said "THAT GUY RIGHT THERE! WE DID IT FOR YOU!" So I don't give an F he'll always be my hero and be welcome back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwestbrook36 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Don't you think.we should get rid of Ertz before thinking about a back up tight end? You guys wonder why this team sucks becaiset like the front office you can't let go of guys that were on a super bowl team 5 years ago that weren't even that good then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with 12 Personnel. If we do not have elite receivers, then TEs can create separation. It is a friendly to QB tool to have. If Ertz is staying here for 1 more year, we will not need Trey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
