Opt=puts dropping like flie.
Remaining are Matt LaCosse - our 34th TE
Brandon Bolden - Core ST'er and everyones favorite RB
Hightower - our very veteran LB who has lost a step but improves the IQ of our LB's

Lacosse to PS?
Bolden our 5th RB?
Hightower not cut-able? What if he shows up not ready after a year off? Cap casualty in julio Jones trade?

Non are locks to make the 53 man cut.....

My prediction is Lacosse and Bolden get cut and Hightower stays.

While I tend to agree, at the time he had a 2 week old kid and nobody actually knew what the hell was up with how dangerous(or not) the virus actually was. Also, his mother had some type of illness that made her vulnerable.

But ya, I pretty much agree.

I have no issues with people sitting out last year. I thought the post was in regard to this year. Vaccines are out he should be in

If he's siting out any of this year then he has to go. I had not heard that. Fuck that.

I'm with you. Lacosse brings nothing to this team now. Nor does Bolden with all the additions. Most of the kids drafted are ST guys and the RB is full. Unless their is a trade.

LaCosse is viable trade bait.

What do you think anybody would give up for Lacosse. An undrafted FA who's jumped around three teams in 5 years with one year spent on the IR.

Further NE has 6 TEs currently on the roster plus their European FB. Teams know NE is not keeping 6 TEs. They can just wait them out.

TE's are always in demand. You tink if you are short a TE you won't give a 7 to not have to wait out waivers?

The guy has 40 catches and 2 TDs in his career. Wasn't even assured of being on the team last year if he didn't opt out. Not a perenial blocker.

The only two things in his favor is there aren't a lot of FA TEs out there and Lacosse has good speed.

Lacosse, Harry and Michel...and a third for Jones.

Let's be real. Impact to the team wise, that's a third for JJones. Now look at what we could get back for the individuals... Lacosse? Maybe a conditional seventh. Harry? Maybe a conditional 5th, and given the "dime a dozen" view for RBs, probably the same for Michel. All together that may equal a 2nd round.... Maybe.

Hightower is still not at practice. Looks as if he skips OTA's

Mandatory practice starts in a little over a week. How far do you go with Hightower if he comes in unable to perform?
A year off worked for Gronkowski, It did not work well for Chung.....
