It looks like the Giants signed Eagles TE Jack Stoll.

Yup.

What should we make of this?...20 catches....do we read anything into Waller?

I think we all forgot about Bellinger.

Unless they need the Cap Space, I would let him decide. They can cut him anytime if his heart isn't in it.

Meaning?....

My take - Bellinger had a real good rookie year...then we sign a playmaker Waller (and Bellinger is kinda lost)...then last season he bulls up big time and I'm all excited - and he seems to be rarely targeted. Maybe he can be special TE still?

Nice blocking TE

Too bad our RB is awful

I wonder why after Waller was injured that they didn't target Bellinger more. We were all excited after drafting him and he had a decent rookie season as you said. He's a two way TE and although he lacks the athletic ability of a top TE in the field, I thought he would become an important part of the Offense. Apparently bringing in Waller showed they don't see it that way.

Completely insignificant signing. A body. Maybe he makes the team, maybe he doesn't. Won't have any impact on wins and loses if he does.

Cager didn't get a tender offer. Perhaps they want more blocking TE's. Still if Waller stays, who replaces him when he gets hurt.

Still hasn't made an impact in three years as a target.

you would need a qb who can develop chemistry with someone.

Good point. With three QB's there was no continuity and they probably didn't have plays designed for him.

other than tyrod having a full camp I don't see Tommy or DJ doing that with bellinger. People keep saying we need a WR or something else but we need to trade the farm for a Drake Maye so players like bellinger and wandale etc can finally shine

This could be a move instead of Cager.  I had read they were still interested in bringing him back, but that was prior to this signing. Bob

Two different types of TE's. I think they kept Cager last year as a replacement to Waller if he went down as a Pass Catcher. Seems to me that they may be changing how they utilize the TE again. I question if Waller will be on this team in September.
