Rico Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Sorry if already posted The importance of a tight end in today's game cannot be overlooked, and won't be by the Packers. Sources close to the team said in early February that they are likely to use the franchise tag, resulting in a $2.687 million cap number, to keep unrestricted free-agent TE Bubba Franks. "He's not Speed Racer, but he seals that edge as well as any tight end in our conference," the source said. If true, too bad for those in here that wanted him.

John from Riverside Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hopefully this doesn't come to fruition...BUT the good thing is there are a few other good Tight ENds to be had out there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 There hasn't been much news on Campbell or Euhus. I'm not even sure if the extent of their knee injuries was made public.

IndyJay1234 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Look for Marcus Pollard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Look for Marcus Pollard 239006[/snapback] That would be a tad bit difficult since Pollard isnt a free agent...unless he's getting released. You know something we all dont, Jay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 That would be a tad bit difficult since Pollard isnt a free agent...unless he's getting released. You know something we all dont, Jay? 239086[/snapback] I heard rumblings that Pollard might be a cap casualty and he is also dissatisfied with his role in the offense.

Lots of good TEs available if TD wants to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losman-McGahee-Evans Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'd take Pollard in a heart beat if he gets released...I also like Freddie Jones from Arizona or Wiggins from Minnesota. Lots of good TEs available if TD wants to upgrade. 239094[/snapback] I think Pollard or Freddie jones would be a great fit in this offense and it would allow us not to reach in the draft to fill that spot.
