The guy is still solid as a rock as a blocking TE. Amazing to be able to play this well. He's 40 years old and this will be his 19th NFL season. I really like re-signing him... he is still one of the best blocking TE's in the NFL.
I remember back when he was drafted I was hoping the Bears would draft him. That year the Bears traded down (2006) when they dealt the No. 26 selection to the Bills in exchange for choices in the second and third rounds they spent on safety Danieal Manning (No. 42) and defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek (No. 73). On the plus side though the Bears spent their own 2nd round pick on Devin Hester.
