    Default [Signing] Shiancoe to Patriots

    http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/...-year-contract

    While most teams have only one solid tight end (if even), the Patriots now have 3 capable ones in Gronkowski, Hernandez, and Shiancoe.....

    MAybe they are worried that party boy Gronk has had too many cervezas on his summer escapades...

    That is a crazy bunch though, it will be interesting to see Bellichek tossing all three out on 2nd and Goal playcalls. You know he will.

    I'm surprised they signed him - I guess this is just insurance? Proof that they want 2 pass catching TE"s on the field at all times?

    Interesting to say the least...

    Very odd that he would go someplace behind 2 established TE's.

    Ya, it is extremely odd. Maybe a trade is on the horizon?

    Yeah a trade could be coming, especially if they showcase him. But now that gronk looks good they could release him as well no? I think bellicheck is smart but sometimes I think he outsmarts himself. He is lucky to have Brady, how good was he with bledsoe?

    Trades don't really happen in the NFL, though - maybe Hernandez is going to play WR this year and they need a 2nd TE? I suspect this is just depth as the Pats have everything worked around a 2 TE offense and for the price - what the heck, why not get a decent vet?
