Revamping of tight end position continues
Nothing to rival the quarterback fireworks of the past week, but the team made a couple of moves today, re-signing tight end Greg Estandia and defensive back Ray Ventrone.
Estandia, picked up off waivers from Jacksonville last September, played in four games with four catches for 45 yards. He’s 6-foot-8, 266 pounds, similar to Jake Ballard from Ohio State, who is coming out this year.
Quietly, the Browns are revamping the tight end position. Last week they dumped Steve Heiden and signed Ben Watson.
They also have holdover Robert Royal and the intriguing Evan Moore, who popped off the practice squad last season to average 13 yards per reception over the last five games. Eight of his 12 grabs went for first downs.
Is there a Kellen Winslow Jr. in this bunch? Assuredly not. But Moore at least helps make up for the fourth-round bust that was Martin Rucker. You know, the tight end Phil Savage drafted and Eric Mangini took one look at and cut.
Ventrone signed with the Browns as a free agent last September and had 12 special teams tackles, third on the team.
