I think they will get a veteran TE if the opportunity is right. We'll see if someone is cut who might have some games left in him, etc. Maybe a late trade if no move is made for Earl Thomas. (I want to see Woods first at FS in preseason, then get Thomas if Woods isn't ready to start. It looks like that situation will be a stalemate for a while in Seattle).

But Dak might be thinking he wants a big, agile TE threat and may deliberately feed Gathers the ball to try to get him going. If it's possible to lift him into the role it would be a big help to the cog players outside.

If nobody is a receiving threat at TE, then they need more spread sets. And that would also mean you run out of those some, even early downs, so defenses are not always keying pass.
