Leonard Pope-TE- Cardinals Sep. 4 - 5:54 pm et
Cardinals released TE Leonard Pope.
The 2006 third-rounder has the look of a prototypical tight end, but he just never developed as a blocker. It's telling that Dominique Byrd made the final cut ahead of Pope. The Saints and the Bengals could come calling.

Aug. 15 - 10:57 pm et
Cardinals tight end Leonard Pope played behind Stephen Spach and Ben Patrick in the team's preseason opener. Pope was also terrible, dropping a TD from Matt Leinart.

Mar. 31 - 4:59 pm et
Cardinals signed restricted free agent Leonard Pope to a one-year, $1.01 million contract.
Pope, the No. 72 overall pick in 2006, still hasn't developed as a blocker and reached a new low last season with just nine catches in 13 games after scoring five touchdowns in his second year. Pope isn't even certain to make the Cardinals, especially if they draft a tight end high in April.

Feb. 26 - 3:36 pm et
The Cardinals extended a low restricted free agent tender ($1.01 million) to Leonard Pope.
At 6'8/258 Pope appeared to be a promising prospect coming from Georgia in 2006, but he's regressed in three years and still can't block. It's surprising that he even got tendered.

Dec. 29 - 12:38 am et
The tight end position is expected to be a major area of focus for the Cardinals this offseason.
Starter Leonard Pope is an ankle sprain or mental error waiting to happen and doesn't block well enough to stay on the field for three downs.
