Earlier this morning, my colleague Cory Woodroof wrote a thorough, well-reasoned take on the Falcons signing Antonio Gates to bolster their tight end position. It was a fair take, and one I suspect at least some of you will find yourself nodding along with. I’m here to disagree with Cory, though, and I thought it was worth having our two articles go back-to-back on a sleepy Sunday so you could consider whether the team needs a veteran option or not.
Here’s my take, in case you hadn’t guessed: The Falcons don’t need a tight end.
