It's been brought to the public's attention that the eagles are looking for a serviceable TE, we happen to have a glut..... Anybody see this going anywhere? (probably a better option if we still had Wilford)
 
Obviously Fasano's not going anywhere. Nalbone is a 5th rounder rookie (and I think it's too late to trade rooks, no?). Haynos is really the only one, and I don't think he has any real trade value...maybe a 6th or 7th if a team is desperate. But he's more valuable to us than that because he's the only other TE with *some* experience in Martin's position in those 2 TE sets we like to run.

Our TE corps is a lot weaker than it was with Martin in the lineup. It seems like we have a bunch of them, but it's only because we need one of them to emerge as a dependable second TE...all except for Fasano are unknowns.
 
You maybe right that our TE corp is weaker, but I think Haynos with his size and Nalbone might be good surprises this season..This is why the coaches decided to keep 4 TE even before they knew that Martin was injured...
 
the only TE with any kind of value is Fasano and it would be flat-out dumb to trade him now.

the idea of trading is to deal from a position of strength. we have 4 TEs, but it's not a deep position per se. we are strong at DE, OLB and RB. if anything we're going to trade one of them.

I can't see where ANYTHING would be better if we still had "old lead shoes".
