I think they are giving all or most of them a chance to make Taylor unnecessary to keep. That doesn't mean it's gonna happen, though. Time will tell whether we have a lot of quality depth or just a bunch of fairly equal mediocrity. I'm an optimist; I lean toward thinking they are decent, and that Quarless and Rodgers are gonna step up and do better than Finley at his best.
The two things Taylor is good at--blocking and special teams--don't really show up at all in the other guys's repertoires, so I think Taylor sticks unless they decide they don't need a blocking TE this year (very unlikely). Keeping a lot of TEs will mean cutting someone who has decent upside at another position such as WR. I would bet on TT keeping more players at a position of strength instead of stockpiling mediocrity at TE.
