Fins trade TE Shaheen. Psyche, he's back...

[ANUFan]

With our new offensive minds we should get more out of Gesicki he's had 13 tds in 3 years

Lol..you say it like it’s some terrible stat.

Let's not get into the covid pi$$ing contest. Ppl have their own varying beliefs, and there is no need to have that debate here (again).

Thanks in advance for everyone's cooperation.

I like Tanner Conner more. Long was a waste of a pick. Supposed to be such a great blocker but he ranks up there with Gesicki. Hopefully Tanner can show us something and we can get another 6th for Hunter next year.

based on what.

his rookie year where he should have been placed on IR after effing up his knee in training camp?

Exactly , lets just get rid of every player that doesn't make the pro bowl in their rookie year....smh

it was more detailed than just get rid of a third rounder for a UDFA convert from WR.

somehow we know he is forever limited to gesicki level blocking.

how we know this, I am unaware.

Our coaches couldnt teach the Oline to block, how do you suppose they would fare any better teaching TEs?

Im curious to see the improvement this year. (If any)

Everyone wants to get rid of carter but I think he may be a back up FB also

 

[djphinfan]

We’ll hunter Longs rep count just went up

Our coaches are different ppl now for the most part. These coaches, including the OC actually have experience with Oline play.

Not sure why one would even make such a statement.

Interestingly, I think this says a lot about how the team values Durham Smythe. He would have made a lot more sense to trade if this was purely about salary.

Edit: Duh. I forgot they just re-signed him.

 

[royalshank]

Well, didn't Tuas PR firm say the Phins weren't done yet?

You think we got 1 more big move left?

Or is Grier playing smart Fiscal managing here?

I think so. TE room was crowded. Shaheen is a decent player but Gesicki and Smythe are better and then we have to develop Hunter Long so trading him and getting anything in return is good value IMO

It wasn't about salary. There was no gain in a trade v cut as far as money. It's just an added bonus over keeping him on the roster.

 

[utahphinsfan]

The meaning behind the trade was that he wasn't making the team so get the most you can for him (if you can get anything).

Something is better than nothing? Really? /s

That was my point.
