Celek leaving is expected. He was never great even in his prime. Burton and Ertz were far better. Losing Burton leavings us with a huge hole at TE now. But there was no way we could afford 8mil a year for him. Glad he got his payday. But 2 solid TE's is a huge need anymore, as we use them as both WR's and OL blocking when too much pressure gets in. Won't miss Celek, but losing both leaves us need both a TE draft pick "and" a vet pickup now. We are going to miss Burton. I hope Ertz can stay healthy.
I agree, we are going to miss Burton. He will always be a part of Eagles history though, which is pretty friggin cool. He now has fantasy relevance too.

Wonder if we go and find a TE on the market or do we draft one? Looks like there are plenty on the market, but with how TEs have different skill sets, I'm not sure what direction they want to go.

I keep seeing Martelius Bennett's name linked to us.. Not sure if this is good?
I hope not. He's a poorer blocker than Ertz. And Ertz struggles to keep his grandmother out of the backfield.

can we change the title of this thread to "Celek Released"?

cut just sounds harsh for a dude that has been with this team for so long.

You know, I thought the same thing right after I posted it, but it was too late.

Here is a fitting write up for a guy that will always been solid Philly legend. Not because he was always a top TE, but because he always gave his all. Every game and every year. You can read all the things this guy was to the team....right up to last glorious season.

Thank you, Brent Celek

I find myself hoping he doesnt find anything anywhere and just comes back for a minimal deal for another year or so. I can't knock him for not retiring.....I can only imagine what that debate is like. But I do hope he just comes back cheap and finishes it the way he started.
