Another offensive weapon???

I, too, think it is imperative that we address the defensive side of the ball. Inevitably, that means bringing in two LBs, two CBs and a DT. Guys like Lance Briggs, Cato June, Nate Clements and Asante Samuel make sense and we have to try to grab one or two of those guys. However, I do believe that it is crucial that we bring in a TE who is capable of further stretching the defense and opening things up for our backs.

A solid TE can also be important in the red zone where we are next to last in the league in goal-to-go situations. How many passes have we seen Brees try to fit in there to Campbell that just did not work? Also, think of the touchdowns that have been dropped this season by Conwell and Campbell. Against the Ravens, we were moving the ball, trying to get back in the game while there was still time on the clock and went to Campbell twice in the redzone only to watch him drop two catchable passes.

We are in desperate need of a TE who can become a safety valve and who can help us improve our redzone numbers. If that is Gonzales, I would be ecstatic. But even if not, it has to be someone who is capable and will truly help this team out.
