Re: If Vet TE available - would you cut Byrd

Or do you stick with the hand you chose?

Isn't Walker a vet TE?

From second #1 I thought drafting Byrd was a mistake. He may turn out to be a brilliant TE, but I wouldn't have spent a high pick for him after drafting Klop, who also may turn out to be great... only time will tell. The team should have shopped for one a long time ago, and possibly used the 3rd as trade material.

That being said, time has passed and as Ramman said if you bring in a good new guy, he still has to learn the system. How much more would he contribute to the team this season than Byrd? I think the coaches know best.

So, I don't know. If a great TE is available, sure, but if he is so-so, then maybe not. The team doesn't need more variation.
