My first thought was Dallas Clark, but I'm not sure why he was ranked so low. Is he splitting time with anybody else down there? I know he was a great receiver in IND, but I have a creeping feeling there's a reason everybody else passed on him.

Bucs signed TE Dallas Clark, formerly of the Colts.

Clark has a big name, but he's a late-career player who was a shell of his former self last season. Consistently exposed as a blocker and dropping eight passes among just over 60 targets, Clark was one of the weakest tight ends in football. Not all can be blamed on Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky, as Clark was a contributor in the Colts' woes. In Tampa, he doesn't figure to crack the fantasy radar. Clark will be a bit player, seeing the field only on passing downs in Greg Schiano's run-first attack.

 

According to Yahoo's Jason Cole the "word on the street" is that free agent Dallas Clark "is done."

He sure looked it last year. Clark was relentlessly blown up as an on-the-line blocker, and the 33-year-old (in June) dropped an alarming eight of his 63 targets, per Pro Football Focus' charting data. There's a reason Peyton Manning lobbied for Jacob Tamme in Denver, and didn't go to bat for Clark.

 

One NFL scout recently told NFL Network's Albert Breer that free agent TE Dallas Clark "might be done."

This isn't a report that Clark might retire, but his skills going on age 33 have so eroded that he may no longer be able to help an NFL team. Clark can't stay healthy, and he couldn't have played worse last season. His numbers weren't just down because Peyton Manning got hurt. Clark was the worst tight end in the NFL, getting destroyed as a blocker and dropping balls all over the field.
