I think the tight end position is probably one of the risky positions in terms of the durability, but that's given the fact of what they're asked to do. It's very hard, very hard to find the perfect tight end and durability is a problem throughout the league. Not just with our team, but a lot of teams.

He gives us some flexibility there.

We've never had a problem with him, going back to when (he was in) Tampa.

We'll be able to go business as usual. Some teams may not be able to do that because of their salary cap situation.

I said this really the last couple years: Saturdays look like Sundays now, and that's good for football. They truly are training the players the way we want to use them on Sundays.

We would like to get another corner in here. It doesn't seem like you can have too many corners.

We can't place too much emphasis on one loss.

It used to be you never took a tight end in the first round. But they're looked at as athletes now. They're looked at as a skill position.
