Leonard Pope caught two passes for 26 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers in Week 11.
Pope caught a 21-yard touchdown pass to start the Chiefs' comeback. While he seems to overtaken Sean Ryan as the main tight end, he's not going to be a fantasy option.

Chiefs signed TE Leonard Pope, formerly of the Cardinals.
Pope will be re-united with Todd Haley. While his receiving potential is higher than any tight end currently on the roster, his poor blocking will keep him from seeing significant playing time.

In addition to ex-Patriot Alex Smith, the Giants worked out free agent TE Leonard Pope on Monday.
A career underachiever, Pope is an option to replace Darcy Johnson if Johnson starts the season slowly. The Giants don't seem to be rushing to use third-round pick Travis Beckum, who's still honing his blocking technique.

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.

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. It's possible Pope will be on the roster bubble when Patrick's four-game suspension ends.

The Cardinals have four tight ends that could start on opening day, even though Leonard Pope is currently No. 1 on the depth chart.
They actually have five tight ends in camp, but Ben Patrick is suspended for the first four games of the season. When Patrick gets back he has the best chance for fantasy value, but it's unlikely any of them will be worth owning at any point. The Cards have the most tight end-unfriendly offense in the league.

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.

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. The Cardinals will look long and hard at Brandon Pettigew if his slow forty time causes him to fall to the No. 31 pick.

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. The upcoming draft will offer many strong pass-catching prospects, but Arizona will likely want a well-rounded veteran. Scenarios include trading for a Chris Baker or Desmond Clark, or signing a free agent like Bo Scaife or L.J. Smith.

Cardinals TE Leonard Pope (ankle) is listed as probable for Week 11.
Usual No. 2 TE Ben Patrick (knee) is also probable, but the Cards opened the position to competition and say whoever practices best will play on game days. Stephen Spach and Jerame Tuman are also involved in the battle.

Leonard Pope (ankle) returned to a full practice Friday and is listed as questionable to play in Week 10.
