Sorry Bro Long signed with the Rams
Keller was a first round pick. Had his first injury concern this year. Has low stats but he is a Favorite of his garbage QB. There's a lot of upside. Lets get it done and than work on getting a Tackle.
I don't think Keller is a must sign in any way. He is not even a real upgrade over what we had. True he is better as a pass catcher than Fasino was but Anthony was a much better blocker. And to be honest their passing numbers were not that different. Keller is not the rangy mismatch TE that LBs can't cover, and his blocking is horrible. There are several in the draft that I would rather have, that will be much cheaper. I say offer him a very reasonable contract and let him take it or leave. To be honest I would rather he leave. There is just something about a jet player that makes him tainted. They just all have an funky smell that kinda follows them around.
Fasano
40 yard dash time: 4.72 seconds
Height: 6' 4"
255lbs
Keller
40 yard dash time: 4.53 seconds
Height: 6' 2"
249lbs
It's not only that he's faster but look how he moves? He's very fluid and athletic. A few times I could of sworn I was watching Aaron Hernandez!
Where is this basis that Keller can't block

When did Fasano ever run a 4.72?
I agree. I love how people are saying he's horrible at blocking. All of the free agent TE's available this year are about the same when it comes to blocking. Cook, Bennett, Keller, Pitta. They're all better receivers then they are blockers
