Crap. Gotta say though I thought he was a little overrated. Should be some camp cut available though.
This team can't catch a break! Doesn't it seem like our injuries always end up worse than originally expected? This was supposed to be a minor injury, and he was supposed to be back for week 1. ... unreal.
Beat me to it......Coples at 6'-6" 280 lbs could definitely handle the blocking part, and if he has hands at all send him into the flat on occasion. Don't know how his 'speed' stacks up to other blocking TEs or how his 'hands' rate, but hell, get him out there.
Anyone know when the Gronk's contract is up? Is he eligible for the tag after that? I wouldn't mind outbidding NE for him (see Revis).
Truth is, I think we can pick up a blocking TE and still get the same production from all the TE's combined anyway... Cumberland is a decent Receiving TE.. Stop with the Cumberhate©
At least this says he is but I'm not sure when it was last updated. http://www.nfl.com/freeagency#position=TE
Wasn't he a big time H-back with the Raiders too? One of the best playing that position ever I think...might fit right in.
I'm not sure about how, where he played. I was just answering the question. If he's still a fa, he must not be commanding much money.
