TEs to go after

[mysticsoto]

Given that they have announced that Campbell will not be recoved until training camp has started (and even then may not be 100%) it is likely that the Bills will probably go after another tight end. Who are your preferences?

Personally, mine is Jermaine Wiggens...but I wouldn't be upset if we got Bubba Franks either...

[Marvelous]

I like Freddie Jones because he is a recieving TE and if JP is running for his life he can be a safety valve since our FB is not much of a catching threat.
As long as we don't seek a blocking TE.....

[mysticsoto]

Bubba Franks was franchised, so he might be out of the picture. It's been mentioned that Pollard from Indy might be released. He might be a good prospect...

[Tatonka]

pollard would be great.

[Dozerdog]

Look at all the great Pittsburgh TE's the past 15 years......









*cough* *cough*










If anything, guys like Jason Peters- big blocking TE's fit thre Mularkey mold. Now that Bledsoe is gone, the importance of a pass catching TE in this offense goes down, and the premium on blocking goes up.

Kleinsausser- a FA last season and injured this season, is the type Mularkey likes.

Jeb Putzier, whom I know nothing about, is a young (3 years in the league) TE with Denver who rates 3 stars on the Bills Report's FA Tracker. He's intriguing because most of the 3 and 4 star guys are older.

I think the guy from Pittsburgh...Eric Green...was a lot like Jason Peters.....Huge, Fast, good hands etc...
Another one in the same mold is Brandon Manumaleuna (sp?) from St. Louis...

They put the transition tag on him- similar to Cincy and Spikes 2 seasons ago

[The Spaz]

As was previously mentioned a TE who can block and just be adequate in this offense is what we need.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

My thinking is that TD wouldn't look to the big name guys. I would think he would look towards players like Anthony Becht, Stephen Alexander, Patrick Hape, or even Itila Mula. Somewhere along those lines.

[Kerr]

Anthony Becht.

[Farley]

Its unlikely that Peters will ever get the chance to prove himself at TE which is too bad because apparently the guy has some of the best hands around.

[ryjam282]

I think Itula Mili would be a good one. He isn't a bad blocker at all and has some good hands.

I saw him play in a couple Denver games and i believe a preseason game against us. He is huge like Kyle Brady/Riemersma. Drag the pile type. I'm all about it..

Then why doesn't Denver want him?

I'd take him or Jones in a heartbeat to compete at TE, these guys are underrated receivers.

[Ickybaluky]

Denver does want him and they are trying to sign him to a long-term extension. They are very high on him.

Putzier is a restricted free agent likely to be tagged at a medium level, which would require a 1st round pick as compensation. He was originally a 6th round pick.
