I think we are possibly undervaluing him. Has anyone ever seen the guy go down even after the second contact? I believe he's a restricted free agent and hope we bring him back even with the Gresham contract and the possible drafting of Howard... who I believe Mitch might have said OJ could even play the slot like Larry since he's so dynamic, yes I too am warming up to drafting the guy

I totally agree. Surprised he's not talked about more. I know he somewhat vanished last year, but it seems he didn't get alot of field time either. Would like to have both stay are TE, including momah.

I think his price will go to high, but I'm stunned they havent cut Niklas.

Agree. He 'a one of my favorite players. It seems to take a whole defense to tackle him and he does have good hands, and he's a good blocker from what I've seen. I've read that he could still come back, but they didn't want to pay him the $1.75M RFA tag. Kiem usually has a good feel for the market, we will see. Also, it's a deep TE draft.

I like Fells. Him, Gresham and a rookie and maybe Momah is a fine TE room. With Greshams contract though, Fells will have to be cheap or you just go rookie.

I like Fells - but he will be 31, blocking skills are average and he lost weight last year and I personally think that didn't help his blocking - and it certainly didn't make him run any faster.

I can see him coming back at 1 year $1 mil next season.

I'm not sure how much weight he can lose. I don't think he's overweight but more just a massive dude.

I want Fells back... if we actually utilized him in the passing game then he would be a beast. I'd offer him a 3 year, $6.5 mil contract... $2 mil per year with a $500k signing bonus.
