Ian Thomas is the first player who comes to mind. I was kind of surprised the new regime brought him back. He has a reputation of being a blocking tight end, but he wasn't that good of a run blocker last year.

Thomas likely makes roster despite poor blocking, but shouldn't in rebuilding year.

Eight-year veteran tight end was brought back by new regime but wasn't a good run blocker last season despite reputation as a blocking tight end. At age 30, source questions the value of keeping him as a third tight end in a rebuilding year when younger option Carter Runyon (25) could get the job; however, source expects Thomas to make the 53-man roster because coaches love vets.
