    I read he's likely a cap casualty in Philly. How sick would he be in a new offense run by Bieniemy and Deshaun Watson?

    They are likely to be gutting some bad money.... maybe they can trade a bad contract and a pick for him?

    What if Philly likes Mercilus and we attach a 2022 third round pick?

    Texans TE’s are decent. None are Ertz of course but I think u can get by with Brown, and Atkins

    DJ has lost a step -- Ertz has lost two.

    Pharaoh Brown has been impressing me lately. What about Kahale Warring is that experiment already over?

    Dear God no. No more TEs, even though spending a 3rd round pick on a TE is very Texans

    STOP (HYPOTEHTICALLY) TRADING PICKS!

    (Ertz will turn 31 next season; if he wants to play here on the cheap, sure - but I'd rather use a 3rd on TE than trade for a washed up one.)

    How many draft capital has BoB spent on TE's? Sigh.

    I like our TEs. Cheap, can swat defenders down, box out. Only weakness is the sun, cost #4 an extra TD.

    If our tight ends were so great they would use them... obviously the assumption is ertz checks out medical...

    He's not that old... mercilus is older... kelce was same draft. People calling kelce old?

    I suggest the pick being so high because part of that is unloading mercilus money.. would prefer him as a cheap free agent too but i think someone will give philly something for him...

    Are you comparing mercilus to Hopkins? This is trash for trash... our guy is older and can't play when healthy...

    he's washed.

    with how many tight ends we draft, you'd think we'd have a decent one

    Hopkins masked our need for elite TE play. He was the go to guy on 3rd down religiously. Not having him or a top tier TE is a drive killer. This needs to be addressed this offseason.
