Sure. But my point wasn't that he won't start. It's that he's on this team as of today as one of the 3 TE.
Keep in mind that he's the only TE on our roster to have caught a regular season pass from tannehill.
He didn't play well last week, and he's never going to be a Dustin Keller, but he's better than the game he ate last week.
If we bring in another TE to start or develop then he cod be in trouble, but right now he is on the team.
Having said that.... Watch him get cut today..... Lol
