This isn't the sexy move but it's the kind of contract extension that helps build championship caliber teams.

One thing's for sure, Celek did earn every dollar he's gotten.. .and that's thru hard work!!

He deserve to be the starter coming in and let the rest of the TEs take it away from him..

I think Celek, Bell and McDonald fit Chips offense pretty well. Wouldnt be surprised if one of them steps up big this season.

A TE that can't catch is as bad Dlineman that doesn't get sacks, but I guess some tend to like those type of players.

The same bad hands that Delanie and VD had coming out of college but were somehow able to improve upon them over time? Late last year was the first time McDonald got any sort of consistent targets. Its definitely something he can build on.

I wouldn't call them the same bad hands, Vernon didn't drop them like Vance drops them.

What makes you say that? How has he worked harder than anyone else on the team?
Plus, isn't he often injured?

Was Vernon a natural pass catcher? No. But dude could catch the ball most of the time, no matter how awkward he looked. Plus, he was extremely clutch for a few years. Vance doesn't belong in the same sentence.

He led the NFL in dropped passes in 2009. Walker was up there in dropped passes once he started getting regular targets. Neither of those guys had great hands, both of them worked through it and were able to make an impact once they got enough targets. I'm hopeful that McDonald can do the same because that would be one less need that the team has to fill in a laundry list of needs.

I like Celek, Mcdonald, Bell, and Anderson going into next season.
