all kidding aside, gute did sign a tight end with nfl experience: josh whyle. i did find this scouting profile (he was drafted the same year as musgrave and kraft:

Scouting Report: Strengths​

  • Varies the speed of his route, using hesitation and shoulder fakes to get the defender guessing.
  • He’s lanky and long-armed, but Whyle has the broad-shouldered frame to carry more weight. Whyle was a national high-jump champion in high school, and that athleticism translates to the passing game.
  • Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #78. He wrote, "He moves extremely well for a big man, clocking a 4.65 40 to go with a 35 1/2-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 10-3 1/2. He has also topped 20 mph on the GPS and done 16 reps of 225."
  • A coordinated athlete and tough player to tackle, running with low pad level. Has good body thickness and strength.
  • Thriving on physicality, he’s a contested-catch specialist with a knack for warding off defenders while the ball is in the air. He has strong hands and the ability to wrestle the ball away from defenders.
  • Whyle transitions quickly from receiver to runner, and he has enough speed to threaten the seam.

Scouting Report: Weaknesses​

  • His ability to track the ball is good enough, but Whyle too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
  • And he’ll need to become a sharper route runner, especially on option routes, to create separation at the intermediate level.
  • High cut frame and limited power in hands prevent a top blocking grade.
  • He’ll also have to adjust to getting his head around to locate the ball on shorter routes over the middle.
 
We did NOTHING to help our FB team today. Gute is a dipshit.
Gute will say they made several calls but felt the cost was to high to get any players and feel that the guys we have on the roster can get the job done.

AKA gute was a tight ass and was probably not wanting to do anything more then a late round pick swap for any player.
