Pixote Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I like the signing. Good #3 TE to add to the mix. I'm sure he was a cheap add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 No issues with adding another reliable set of hands like James. I like having good veterans like him and Graham surrounding Kmet to help him grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 He’s got a lot of miles on him “played every game since 2016 season”. Although he’s not played as long as Graham ha played. That’s good I suppose. He’s reliable and watching him makes me think of the current version of Jason Witten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 He fills the need for a true blocking TE and now makes the TE room really solid with Kmet, Graham, Butt, and James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 They are upgrading from the bottom up and that is huge for the TE position. Always seems to be a lot of injuries to TEs for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always seems to be a lot of injuries to TEs for some reason. James definitely comes in as the lead TE3. He has a lot of upside as a pass catcher compared to Dion Sims and Harris. He may be our best blocking TE in quite some time. Butt has dealt with injuries but came into the league as a mid-level prospect. It seems like Holtz, Horsted, and Butt will compete for the final roster spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I forgot we signed Jake Butt. If we can get his knee right, he is a stud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
