Smith from Tampa should be available as well.

I would disagree. I think Baker is a pretty good pass-catching TE, which is exactly what Royal is not.

Re: Keep an eye on the C Baker situation

alex smith from tampa will be available?? why? he was their 1st or 2nd rounder just a few years ago and has not played bad. marginal fantasy player, but that doesnt mean much.

He is a vet as well and although I like a youth movement we need a vet somwhere at some piont.

Guys we have like 10 TEs now. Why another that isnt top flight?

Yeah Baker is a pass catching TE but he's not very good at it. He is better than Royal as a receiver but not by much. He's not very explosive and doesnt really stretch the field at all. He is a medium range receiver that you can throw to in zones, not much more than that...

To put it in perspective....

Chris Baker : 41 rec, 409 yds, 3 TDs -- 10.0 yd/rec

Robert Royal: 25 rec, 248 yds, 3 TD -- 9.9 yds/rec

Royal split time with Gaines who also had 25 receptions while Baker was the only target at TE for the Jets.

Theres a reason the Jets dont want to pay Baker what he believes he is worth and drafted Keller instead while also signing Bubba Franks.

Re: Keep an eye on the C Baker situation

The Bills had great pass catching TEs in the draft that they dismissed. They want TEs that can block and also play STs. How is Baker at these?

If he's a 1st or 2nd rounder- he's probably slotted for a pretty good payday.

Production might be good but maybe he's making too much

This is why you don't draft TE's high unless they are freaks of nature

Re: Keep an eye on the C Baker situation

No way would I want Baker. I don't like what we have in Royal but Baker would be no improvement.

agreed, but to put it in a different perspective, he would have been our 3rd leading receiver, with more catches and yards and Roscoe. Thats not saying muh, but still.

There is a 95% certainty we wont go after him anyways, so I guess its probably a moot point with all of our TE's.
