Lions sign TE Tyler Conklin

Perfect. I love the TE room. Even if Laporta isn’t the same or misses time I just don’t see it as a major deal. Teslaa can step into his obvious receiving sets.

Solid signing…now do more

I don’t think he’s an upgrade over Brock, or a TE1 but he’s an upgrade over Frisker for TE3.

Also, very useful signing

Good in pass pro, even as as the H-back.

Can go 2 WR, 2 TE, 1 RB… and be super explosive

Jamo, Saint, Laporta, Gibbs all running routes with Conklin pass pro H-back

He’s very similar to Brock so imo, that’s a really solid 2 & 3

Other than oline the offense is pretty much ready to rock. Not many needs other than offensive tackle.

Now the defense on the other hand. :thinking:

Yep, really are trying to win a Championship the offensive way

Can’t catch, can’t block. Awful awful signing

Wait, did we accidently sign the wrong Conklin just like back in the day when we hired the wrong Campbell?

If it works out the same way, I’m good.

50 plus receptions in 21, 22, 23, & 24.

I know context matters, but I don’t see a world in which Brock Wright could ever hit 50 plus catches

1 year gap filler? Fine. He had a better history, but last year it was a big drop off, and traditionally Harbs likes to pepper the TE with targets, yes?

Day 3 TE incoming.

Weirdly enough, Chargers were 32nd in the entire NFL in 12 personnel & he was the 2nd TE. Sounds really weird to think Harbaugh would be dead last in a TE usage category…

That could be some of the context for the “drop off” last season

I guess when you’ve got Keenan Allen as your #3 WR it’s hard to go 2 TE sets…

They’re loaded, if the Lion’s don’t win the Super Bowl next year, it’ll probably be them

LA’s OL was killed by injuries last season, like our defense. The hey did well just to make the playoffs.

Based on snap counts looks like he was 3rd or even 4th TE after week 5.

He did not have a good season, apparently.

No Charlie Kolar, I’m disappointed.

They had a very weird boner for a 300 plus pound DT named Will Dissley playing TE. Thought they were doing some reinventing of the wheel

He has quite a few investments in michigan from what i have heard. Makes sense for him to try playing out his career here.
