We've got Clay and … ? Plus we're one injury away from probably the worst TE corps.
Not our most pressing issue, but I thought a good break vs all the QB stuff.

Cost probably. Cutting him saved us 2.2 million of cap.

Chandler sucks. He gets the Krusty brand seal of approval: he's not just good- he's good enough!
That fumble in the Toronto game sealed his fate.

And and giving the $2.2M over the cap to others that deserve it.

I agree that keeping Chandler would have helped us big time. Save this thread because OP will be eating crow on this one.

The big tight end flashed early in his Patriots preseason debut, in which starter Rob Gronkowski sat out. He had three catches on four targets from Tom Brady for 40 yards with a touchdown.
Chandler missed the Patriots first two preseason games with injuries, but he showed how dominant he can be in his first real action in blue, red and silver. He should be a matchup nightmare with Gronkowski in the red zone.

I live in New England, and watched the Patriots/Panthers live last night.
NESN (the site you quoted) is the New England Sports Network, so they may be slightly biased. In terms of actually passing the eye test, the Patriots offense was absolutely dreadful for the entire first half, and Chandlers "dominant" performance consisted of hauling in a rainbow of a lob from Brady with 15 seconds remaining in the half for 6 points. For the rest of the half (and preseason) the Patriots offense has been non existent, Chandler included.
It's 2015, and it's Roger Goodell's NFL. Teams are going to score touchdowns, and QBs are going to throw touchdowns. It takes more than 1 TD catch over the course of a summer to be considered "dominant" in a league where Blake Bortles looks like a super star in Jacksonville.
Find the biggest fork you can and put it in the Patriots--they are done.

Chandler has pretty good hands and he's a large target. But he doesn't block, he's slow as molasses, and he doesn't get separation before or after the catch. I'm sorry to see him go but I'm fine with our upgrade this year (Clay) and hopefully next year,w e will draft a total package tight end, one who blocks, catches and can gain YAC.

pretty clear that romans offense absolutely requires blocking from the tes. thats why they paid all that money to clay bc he does both and why they are teaching their tes to be more maullers than pass catchers. as much as i liked chandler he simply is not that guy
One set of rules for all in the beloved community
plus any time youre catching passes from the best qb ever who is also a filthy cheating self centered dick of a queen youre going to look good

3rd and 16 and the Bills are in a deep hole now. They need this first down or the game will quickly slip away. The ball is snapped, (name your horrible Bills QB of the past) drops back, the ball is in the air, and CHANDLER CATCHES THE PASS 20 YARDS DOWN THE FIELD! HE'S AT THE 40, THE 45, 50!!! NOW HES IN OPPOSING TERRITORY!!!!! OH ****! THE BALL CAME OUT (name your pesky small DB) JUST CAME IN THERE AND PUNCHED IT OUT. The Bills are really going to need a miracle now with only xxx left in the 4th.
All Hail Josh Allen! Savior of the Buffalo Bills!

Chandler as a starting TE is subpar, as a back up he's average or maybe above average. That said the first video on his wife's twitter account is cute https://twitter.com/AlissaChandler/media

Hardly a fit for Romans offence. A better fit in NE. He should have a good year with Brady throwing him the ball. Belly and Josh will get the best out of him. it is what it is.
and wasnt chandlers open field big play fumble right after stevies open field big play fumble so it hurt twice as much but you would think he woulda been two arming it at that point

I wanted Stevie gone IMMEDIATELY following that game. Chandler not so much because he hasn't made as many boneheaded plays that have cost us games. And whoever was behind yhe toronto series, needs to be banned from football for life.
