Fasano is younger (only by a year).
Fasano has better numbers during his career.

Fasano was a very good signing.

If Boss can't play again then fine, but he and Fasano aren't that much different that it wouldn't be more prudent to save money and take the cheaper one.
He's a fine depth signing, but hardly anything to get excited about. We'll see the value when the numbers of the 4 year deal come out.

ill guess at least 4 years 16 million

Fasano and Devito are the kind of guys you need to come out fo free agency with, sprinkled in with a big name guy every so often.

They aren't flashy big time playmakers, but they're good solid signings.

This last year "Miami Dolphins: Tight end Anthony Fasano had 41 catches and zero drops. That is the most catches by a tight end without a drop in the past five seasons."

Makes perfect sense he'll play TE for run downs baldwin will play for pass downs brilliant. Derp. Still a gaping hole at no 5 wide out since baldwin moved to tight end though.

Likewise - 4/10. Or perhaps it could be 4/16, but structured to yield 3/9 in reality.
