It would be mildly surprising, but it shouldn't be really. This coaching staff doesn't put a high value on the "traditional" TE. They like their TEs basically to be another OL, and use an H-Back in the passing game. Amaro isn't much of a blocker, and doesn't have the speed they seem to like out of their H-Back. It doesn't help that he has the dropsies occasionally. He just doesn't seem like a fit for the current regime. He might make the roster, but I don't think he'll ever do much here. I'm not sure it's so much they don't place a high value on traditional TEs rather they've been forced to work with what they have. TEs were always a big part of Gaileys schemes in the past. It's a shame because a good TE would set this offense over the top - another year of being last in the NFL (13 TE receptions last year?) at what has become one of the league's more important positions. The proof is in the pudding with Gailey. In all his stops as HC or OC, TEs are not big parts of the offense. The one exception is his 1 season with the Cheifs and Tony Gonzalez, but he was their best player, so he is going to have to go to him. Outside of that, the next best TE season under Gailey is Scott Chandler in Buffalo, who in reality is an H-Back. Gailey prefers H-Backs and Blocking TEs with RBs involved more in passing game.

Who are the Top 5 TE's of all time for the Jets? Who are the Top 3 in the last 25 years? Top 5: Mickey Shuler Rich Caster Jarome Barkum Johnny Mitchell Dustin Keller Last 25 years: Johnny Mitchell Dustin Keller Jame Dearth/Chris Baker - One is a great long snapper we never have to worry about and the other was ok. We've been a very lucky franchise. Two great LS back to back in Dearth and Purdum. /s Richard Caster was a WR. That just makes a piss poor list more piss poor.

Richard Caster was a WR. That just makes a piss poor list more piss poor. I didn't see him play, but it says he played both. Kind of like how Enunwa plays the H back roll for us.

He was drafted as a wide receiver out of college and played there his first couple of seasons and then moved to TE where he played most of his career.

Top waiver priority pickup. Keeps him away from division rivals. Not that he's any good anyway.
