Has anyone considered a good pass recieving Tightend? How many did Rasby catch last year?

Here are Rasby's numbers (catches/yards/ave/TDs):

1994 Pittsburgh Steelers 0 0 0.0 0
1995 Carolina Panthers 5 47 9.4 0
1996 Carolina Panthers 0 0 0.0 0
1997 Carolina Panthers 1 1 1.0 0
1998 Detroit Lions 15 119 7.9 1
1999 Detroit Lions 3 19 6.3 1
2000 Detroit Lions 10 78 7.8 1
2001 Washington Redskins 10 128 12.8 2
2002 Washington Redskins 9 85 9.4 0
2003 New Orleans Saints 6 55 9.2 0

Based on these numbers... I wouldn't consider him a pass receiving TE at all. Don't understand what the holdup signing him is...these aren't exactly Tony Gonzalez numbers and Danny isn't famous for lowballing players (ha!). I hope he's not asking for a ton of cash.

For comparison's sake... here are Chamberlain's numbers:

1995 Denver Broncos 1 11 11.0 0
1996 Denver Broncos 12 129 10.8 0
1997 Denver Broncos 2 18 9.0 0
1998 Denver Broncos 3 35 11.7 0
1999 Denver Broncos 32 488 15.3 2
2000 Denver Broncos 22 283 12.9 1
2001 Minnesota Vikings 57 666 11.7 3
2002 Minnesota Vikings 34 389 11.4 0
2003 Washington Redskins 4 29 7.3 0
