The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released veteran TE Luke Stocker. Stocker had been with the team for seven years and was their third-longest tenured player. Not known for being a factor in the passing game, Stocker was valued for his blocking ability.
And his blocking ability is exactly why the Tennessee Titans should consider picking him up. The Titans have not had the same success running the football this year as they did last season, and some have attributed that lack of success to the loss of Anthony Fasano in free agency. Fasano was an excellent blocking TE, and while he didn’t contribute much to the passing game, he was a big factor in the rushing attack and was on the field for 50% of the snaps.
