If he's a blocking TE, why judge him on yards?
It will take some snaps away for sure but I'm hoping Smythe can learn a few things from him. I'd think we'll keep 4 TE's. I can't see Gesicki or Smythe being cut and O'leary has a contract tho I'm not sure if his money's guarantee or not.I thought about him exclusively being a blocking TE, but wouldn't that just take snaps away from Smythe?
We're hoping his former coach saw something the past few seasons and has a niche role all carved out for him.

I believe the dead money on O'leary is 100K only
I mean Amendola’s contract was a very straightforward 2/$12 million. $6 million each season.
Smythe wasnt all he was talked up to be last year.
But that's the thing is TEs take a few years to develop whether they're receivers, blockers or the total package. It takes time and young fans dont understand the millennial way of instant gratification thinking and understanding. Most prospects don't really pay off until midway through 2 to 3rd years in the league.
Some blow up right away, but that's not normal and expecting greatness day one will always be a let down.
Smythe was a fifth round pick. Who was talking him up?

Well, at least his contract is for less money than every free agent we got last year and he's younger than all of them except Wilson. We didn't break the bank here, he's only 29 and a great blocker.I wanted to draft this dude when he was coming out. I wanted to sign him a few years ago as a FA.
Now?
It makes some sense if your keeping RT.
If your not, it doesn't.
4th. Surprise 4th, but 4th.
LOL I stand corrected again. My point remains though.
2 years, $7 million.
Think you're better than me?
