Interesting that Bergen didn't get drafted, and alot of TE's were left on the board. I expect he'll get a FA offer, though, what would be your view on where there would likely be interest. I would think Green Bay or Philly.

According to Morning Call article, Bergen will be signing FA contract with Phoenix Cardinals. Were on the phone with him during last hour of the draft. Probably good fit since they don't seem to have established TE.
