Interesting Browns hook in this discussion of Wheelie being "on the hot seat" in Tampa. Let's see if not even Butch Davis' arrival on staff saves him from being a cap casualty. Yes, the same PHD who traded a high 2nd-rounder to move up one spot in the first. For the 20-year-old Chosen One.
So three years removed from the toxic 2008 and the trade (basically netting MoMass), Winslow in 2011 committed seven penalties for 76 yards last season, among
the tops for tight ends. He tends to push off to achieve separation,
perhaps because his knee problems affect his lateral agility. Most of us
remember that his penalty problems are nothing new.
He still
has very good hands but his yards per reception is low, even for a tight
end. And Gronkowski, in 60 fewer games, already has five more career
TDs than KWII.
He was and is an above average player, not an
elite performer. Though 2007 was outstanding, he certainly was a huge
overall disappointment compared to the investment the Browns made in
him, and he's not getting any better with age.

Will the Winslow/Davis reunion get curbed?

I don't think I agree that he is an above average TE. I do agree that he had much promise before his accident. I think his only value now is his passion for the game. He is not a complete TE if he can't block and get separation. I also became frustrated with he and BE always lining up wrong on too many plays!
If he is released, I don't think too many teams will be rushing to sign him.
