Big guy, solid blocker and receiver it sounds like.

At first blush seems like possibly an overpay, but for a role like this (probably TE2 once Higbee comes back), better to focus on the guarantees....$5 million per year is pretty damn cheap these days

Yeah that isn't bad at all cost wise for a starter at TE. Just surprised but also sad cuz it means Higbee's knee is way worse than we thought.

Not necessarily. He just had his surgery so the timeline was always going to be missing start of season.

It isn't just that, most athletes take a year after these knee surgeries to look right unless they are freaks of nature. Higbee is essentially not being counted on at all if you ask me.

Love Higbee, but even before that knee injury he always seemed to get banged up (and played through it), so probably smart to have a legit TE2 either way.

I mean Higgs shredded both his ACL and MCL on that hit, in the last game of the season. Hard to imagine him coming back until mid-to-late year at best. Plus will he ever be the same?

With Davis Allen as TE2 we should be fine this year assuming Parkinson is all our FO thinks he can be.

Clearly, the Rams have some first hand knowledge here, as he’s coming from Seattle.

Big dude: 6’7, 251.

Clearly a move motivated by Higbee’s injury.

Draft class behind Bowers isn't great, Allen is only in his second year with limited PT last season and Hunter Long is...what, exactly?

Makes at least some sense to me...

Is he a running blocking TE? I guess our plan is to run it down their fucking throats.

What's next, sign a big back like Derrick Henry and run the ball 30-40 times a game?

Well, we did try to trade for Henry at the trade deadline last season…
 
Like it a lot. Not sure about writing Higs off but it do be like that sometimes.
 
Stafford loves throwing to big weapons, especially at TE. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see him have a great year this yr. Been looking at some highlights and he def can be a weapon for us.
