Arizona Cardinals Sign Tight End Brent Miller

The Cardinals annouced today that they signed free agent tight end Brent Miller. Miller is a Arizona State alum and to make room on the roster, they released Troy Bienemann. Bienemann hasn't been able to practice because of an injured toe which is described as 'close a stress fracture.'
Miller (6'5 240) was undrafted out of Arizona State this year and is coming off a knee injury that caused him to miss a couple of games during his senior season. He totaled 22 receptions for 211 yards in 2007 and a touchdown. He's got good hands and adjusts to the ball in the air but isn't a play-maker (4.75 to 4.8 forty) by any stretch. He's a safety valve type of receiver rather than a down the field threat. Thoughts? I know we've got some ASU fans/alums out there, is this guy worth is salt or what?

Great to hear!
We need the depth at TE. I’m really looking forward to seeing Pope back on the field. He was developing into a legitimate red zone threat before the ankle dislocation.

Yea I figured that you might have some knowledge on Miller. Think he’s got a chance on to make the roster or practice squad?

I would imagine he'd...
...spend time on the practice squad and would be an insurance policy down the road. He was rarely hurt and is a decent blocker for a TE. The knock on him is he is slooooooowwwww, which is why he was typically that safety valve. Good project player and hard-worker.

Tuman starter kit
Sounds the right guy for Tuman to take up his wing.

who's gone?
With the signing of DRC I never heard who was cut from the roster. Now we have added a TE. Has there been any releases?

TE – Bienemann was released to make room for Miller
