I just heard that Yoder and the Skins agreed to a three-year deal last night. Still working on getting some more details on the contract, but the team now has a back-up for Chris ey on the roster. I expect the Skins will announce the deal later today or on Wed.
Yoder performed well when signed and pressed into duty late in the season (after Christian Fauria's surgery) and made a heck of a grab in the back of the end zone in the Tamp game if I recall correctly, helping out Jason Cmapbell in his first NFL start. The coaches liked Yoder and clearly needed to do something else at the tight end position.
This leaves O Line as the primary area of concern in free agency, although like I suggested a while back, the Skins seem comfortable shying away from the guys making big bucks on the line and could addresss Dockery's departure in the draft should they trade down as expected.
He is very good TE. I am still hating on those 2 TD's he had against the Skins when he was in Tampa!!!!
"It's almost like, you play a kid's game for a king's ransom," he said. "And if you don't take it serious enough, eventually one day you're going to say, 'Oh, I could have done this, I could have done that."

Watching the Cowgirls get beaten in Dallas with 2 4th Quarter TD passes to Santana Moss: Priceless
With Sellers' ability to play on the line in a TE/H-back type position, I don't think we'll be bringing in any big name TE's this offseason. I like what ey, Yoder, and Sellers bring to the table as a group. Hopefully, Al can utilize their talents in 2007.

If we can get one of our other FB's on the field we can diverse Sellers role.
