With only 20 career catches but elite run-blocking skills, he’s the perfect fill-in. The deal closed just before roster cuts and follows the trade of Corey Kiner, opening a spot. Long’s physical is pending, but this reunion with LaFleur could be just the boost the offense needs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
