Always liked Luke. He's been a great team partner, and when his number was called he always did his best to deliver. Unfortunately time is the partner of attrition.
We already have 3 very capable TEs, so Luke was a luxury. But Pete has Luke's number on speed dial if we lose a TE to injury,it's not like anyone else will pick him up, he knows our offense cold and can step in on a moment's notice. Sounds like Parkinson is ready to get his shot, Pete loves those Jimmy Graham-size TEs. Look for Pete to move Olsen after the season if Parkinson shows he can ball.
