I think TG would be a much needed boost to the offence. TE has been a non-existent position for too long. Royal may have been a good blocking end but I saw too many passes bounce off his chest. Signing Owens indicates that, at least on the surface, there is an attempt to fill the offensive holes that have been apparent for many years. You need more than one deep threat; you also need some big slot guys to get the yac yards. While I am most definitely a layman, my view is that you need to pay for an experienced TE, like they tried to do with Royal. You can't hope to get lucky in the draft. I was stoked when JP was drafted but became bitter when he was thrown to the wolves. I think he could have been great. With a few notable exceptions, draft picks need to be moved into position, not thrown. Peters wants $11.5 million, big mistake. He was good, but showed up out of shape last year, which speaks volume to character and, and I know I will get flamed for this, was more of a liability than an asset and certainly not pro bowl material. Ralph needs to spend money in the right areas and ultimately that is in the ones that fills the most number of seats. An experienced TE opens things up a little more. TO has already brought a Monday Night opener, not too shabby. Imagine what Gonzalez could bring. Why can't Buffalo be America's team?
