He was easily our best blocking tight end last year, and that is a role that needs to be filled. But it should also be a veteran minimum contract, or near to that.
Lets be honest, it is not as if Alie-Cox was the real problem, he has never been the pass catching threat. That was the role that Gransen and Mallory were supposed to fill. Ogletree is a well rounded TE, who is probably better as a blocker.
Our TE's are ok as players for depth, but we have not had the elite threat who can be a No. 1 TE.
