Getting Tight at End

The Eagles are now a little more than full at the tight end position after signing Kris Wilson to a three year (!) contract. So who is the odd man out? Probably not Brent Celek who showed promise in his rookie year. LJ Smith is famously on a one year, franchise contract. Wilson would be nice insurance for LJ’s departure after the season, but not before it. So that leaves Matt Schobel as the odd man out. Will Schobel cut before the next mini-camp? Having 4 TEs in the rotation can only delay Celek’s development. He needs as many reps as possible.
