Blocking TE Option

Chris Brown reported that the Lions cut TE Michael Gaines and wondered if he would be an option for the Bills to bring in for extra TE depth during training camp and OTA's.  After reading his report it made me think of that option as well.

He's a good blocker with a decent set of hands and I would have rather had him last year then Royal.  He's durable and is a veteran of the league, as well as knowing the coaching staff and their schemes.  We've all seen how Schouman gets hurt quite easily and he would even been a good tutor for Nelson on blocking. 

Your ideas?

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Pass

Buffalo has a very good blocking TE (Fine), a good blocking TE (Schouman) and just drafted what is hoped will be a very good receiving TE (Nelson).

than Schouman, Id bring him in and drop Schouman

I’d rather have George Wrighster. I’d gladly take him over Schouman.

Considering Gaines would come very cheap I think it would be a fantastic idea to bring him back in to add to the competitions. Let Schouman beat him out of a spot. Gaines could really help a tackle out too as he is almost like a tackle himself.

BEEN THERE DONE THAT

Micheal gaines already played for the bills, and wanted out. not interested

I wouldn’t go so far to say Gaines wanted out. More like Detroit gave him a ton of money that Buffalo did not match or come close to matching. If I remeber it was something like 4 years 10 million. I bet you could sign him to a 2 year 1.5 million deal easily.

Pass

We have 2 blockig TE’s. One that canonly block (Schouman) and one that developping into a good all around TE (Fine). Plus Nelson’s blocking game is very underrated and he shown that he wants to get better. We don’t need another TE that will only block for us.
