Its Official now I guess. per the PD

Sweet our FO is starting to look legitimate! According to the club's announcement, Aponte will hold the title of vice president/football administration and will oversee management of the salary cap and player contract negotiations.

Good sign, sorry chickenwang, we can't sign 10 TO's. Everyone will play their roles. This is what NFL.com said about him: No longer just a blocker, Royal has gotten 35, 39 and 38 targets the past three seasons, and has 11 touchdowns in the past four. Michael Gaines stole some catches toward the end of 2007, but he's moved on to Detroit, so while he's not particularly exciting, Royal will be the main safety valve for Trent Edwards in '08. And he is a very good blocker, which means he'll likely be an every-down player. 2008 Robert Royal's stats = 351 yards and 1 TD K2 = 428 and 3 TD Not too shabby for a great blocking TE.
