Remember when we had no tight ends?

[phillycard]

Talk about feast to famine. Trey is easily one of the best doing it now, I LOVE Higgins who doesn't get the praise he deserves enough IMO, and Tip is doing exactly what we asked of him. The trust Kyler has in these guys is a huge reason for our recent success IMO. So happy to see it.

It's great that we have TE room with more than 1 guy

Really opens up the offense

And yes it's been a long time coming

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Even worse were all of the years we actually had tight ends but knew nothing about how to use them in an offense.

True indeed B, but the skill level is markedly better. If Trey got hurt, I would have total faith in EH to hold us down.

Yes, but at one time we had both Jay Novaceck (All-Pro) and Rob Awalt (1987 Rookie of the Year) on our team. Bugel came in as coach and got rid of both of them because he viewed a TE only as a blocker or somebody to perform H-back type functions.

They traded Awalt to the Cowboys and left Novacek unprotected. Both ended up with Dallas and Novacek became a star TE for them while Awalt battled injuries the rest of his career.

 

[Goodyear Card]

I remember when McBride was selected people said it was a wasted pick because you don't selected TE that high and the Cardinals don't use TE.

 

[Cardsmasochist]

Remember when the Cardinals drafted Jay Novacek in the 6th round and let him leave in free agency in 1990?

Then he signed with the Cowboys and became a 5 time Pro Bowler

And who could forget Troy Niklas, AKA “nicked glass”.

This is a direct insult to the GOAT, Jermaine Gresham.

Ahhhh, see you're going back. I agree if we're going THAT far. I'm speaking more recent history than anything.

I LOVED Gresham FWIW!

Except this would be famine to feast. Doh!

I was hoping no one would check me on this! I didn't bother to even edit it! LOL!

 

[Hoodhero]

Maxx Williams would have been a beast playing with this current team

 

[CardNots]

I remember when we had no QB at the QB position far more than the TE position

 

[oaken1]

I remember.
But now, with Higgybear, Boom Boom McBride, and JTT,...we might not draft another TE for close to 10 years

Higgybear! I'm using that!!!

Higgybear! I'm using that!!!

Being a Magnum PI fan, I've always called him "Higgy-baby" a la T.C.

You boys ready for a 4 year extension for 70 mil, 17.5 mil per year?

We're rolling over about $18 million, so if they front load it with that in mind, it won't look bad the following 3 years.

$20 million signing bonus ($50 total guaranteed)
Year 1 - guarantee the full year at $30 million base + $5 million prorated cap hit for $35 million

Year 2 - $7.66 base + $5 million prorated cap hit for $12.66 million

Year 3 - $6.67 base + $5 million prorated cap hit for $11.67 million

Year 4 - $5.67 base + $5 million prorated cap hit for $10.67 million
