I get liking Travis and Hentges, but Ebron/Doyle/Alie-Cox are locks. They're going to have to make a decision. Thank God this franchise is finally at a stage where they have to sweat those decisions.
I know is seems crazy to keep 5 tight ends but we may wish we did exactly that in a year or so. I think Ebron/Travis's skill set crosses over with our wide receivers skill set. If you look at rb/wr/te as just weapons for the qb to use, other than being what is always been done, why not keep the best 14-15 players period. Let the coaching staff be innovative. Whatever we do it is great that we sweat those decisions now. So much better than scouring the waiver wire for fool's gold.

Having said that I think we end up keeping Travis (his skill set is harder to replicate and seems more of a fit in today's NFL) and hope Hentges makes it to the practice squad
