Tight end Kyle Rudolph, whom the Giants have cut, texted this morning that he is not retiring and he does intend to continue playing.

I saw him make one really big play, maybe the longest of his career.  Otherwise, I don't think he did much.

Saw a little of the Giants. He was rarely targeted in passing downs as it still looked like he ran a 5.2 forty...

With Irv Smith out Cousins missed Rudolph. Especially in the red zone.

Yeah I caught probably 3 of their games. He didn’t get any volume, probably even less than he did here in his last couple seasons. But I think he’s probably cooked. Maybe some team will give him a cheap vet deal but I don’t think it should be us.

I would say it depends on where we are at with TE towards the middle/end of FA,  if he is still available and would do a low end deal,  bring him back,  however if we end up with a stud in the draft, or somehow Conklin sticks around then the only deal he sees is one the lets him retire a Viking.  I dont think we can assume that ISj is going to come back and be at the same point in his development as he was when we lost him.  I would expect him to be more like he was his rookie year after missing so much time working out on top of learning a new scheme and all the coaching changes.

No one will be able to convince me as to why Kyle Rudolph should be signed for a team that will likely spread out its TE's a lot more this year. Kyle was a very solid TE for a few years, especially as a blocker, but he's so incredibly slow these days. I'd rather take my chances with a 6th rounder or UDFA

One thing I will say about Rudy he pretty much caught anything that was in his area.
He had a good set of hands.
Think Giants paid him 5 million last year.
But it looked like he lost a step if that is possible.  Smile

It was his size and catch radius,  not his speed that made him a good TE,  even when he's covered he still is able to out jump or box out the defender and make catches.  He won't stretch the field,  but has a role as a 3rd TE in that he would be a good veteran to have around younger guys,  especially if ISj weren't ready to roll due to a set back and all we have is late rounders or UDFAs to fall back on.
