| Footballguys view: Mostly this is a matter of resting some guys who are banged up but who they also know the value of already. If it goes beyond this game, then worry. For now, nothing to see here. |

Bears | Dante Rosario leading candidate for No. 2 TE job Tue Jul 15, 09:00 PM
Chicago Bears TE Dante Rosario is the leading candidate to be the team's No. 2 tight end this year, according to Larry Mayer of ChicagoBears.com. TE Matthew Mulligan, TE Zach Miller and TE Jeron Mastrud will battle for the remaining backup spots during training camp.
| Footballguys view: So long as the Black Unicorn Martellus Bennett doesn't get hurt, the backup tight end in Chicago is not fantasy relevant. Even if Bennett gets banged up there are likely better options out there for waiver wire purposes. |

Bears | Expected to re-sign Dante Rosario Wed Mar 12, 03:13 PM
Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery said he believes there is a good chance the team will re-sign free-agent TE Dante Rosario.
| Footballguys view: More of a blocker or warm body, Rosario is firmly behind Martellus Bennett, who is still nursing his sad-face since brother Mike stayed in Seattle. |

Bears | Dante Rosario cut Mon Mar 10, 05:15 PM

Bears | Dante Rosario acquired Mon Sep 2, 10:26 AM
The Chicago Bears acquired TE Dante Rosario from the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh-round pick in 2014.
| Footballguys view: The Bears add a veteran backup here at the TE position. Rosario won't be much of a fantasy factor in 2013. He'll be behind Martellus Bennett and Steve Maneri on the depth chart. |

Cowboys | Two players to compete for one roster spot Thu Jun 27, 02:37 PM
Dallas Cowboys FB Lawrence Vickers and TE Dante Rosario are expected to compete for one roster spot during training camp because the team is considering phasing out the fullback position in order to use more two tight end sets. Rosario could have an edge because of his special teams play as well as his lower salary.
| Footballguys view: If Vickers gets bounced from the roster there could be a small market for his services. There's reportedly five teams (Dolphins, Ravens, Giants, Chiefs, Texans) interested in free agent fullback Vonta Leach. The teams that don't get Leach could take a look at the 'V' back on the open market. |

Cowboys | Dante Rosario expected to work on special teams Wed Jun 5, 03:48 PM
Dallas Cowboys TE Dante Rosario is expected to help out primarily on special teams because he worked with special teams coach Rich Bisaccia when both were with the San Diego Chargers. 'If you're not a starter you expect to play special teams with the limited number of spots they can dress (on game-days),' Rosario said. 'That's something that's part of my game and it's been part of my entire career and I plan on continuing it.' Rosario is also expected to receive time on offense.

Chargers | Dante Rosario opening eyes Sat Jun 9, 01:45 AM
San Diego Chargers TE Dante Rosario has looked surprisingly good during organized team activities (OTAs).

Broncos | Not using tight ends often Wed Dec 21, 03:53 PM
The Denver Broncos are rarely using TEs Dante Rosario, Daniel Fells and Virgil Green in the offense, preferring to keep them in as blocking weapons most of the time. 'We have been asked to block more, and that's just doing our part in making sure the offense runs smoothly,' Rosario said. 'There's going to be games where tight ends are thrown to quite a few times, and there's going to be games like this last game (vs. the Patriots) where we don't get thrown to at all.'
| Footballguys view: The Broncos could really use a move TE to help young QB Tim Tebow. They have rookie Julius Thomas on the roster and he has good upside. However, a high ankle sprain has held back his development this year and he is inactive on most gamedays. |

The Denver Broncos have reached a contract agreement with free-agent TE Dante Rosario (Panthers), pending a physical with the team Sunday, July 31. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Not a surprise here. John Fox will have Rosario compete with rookies Julius Thomas and Virgil Green to be the team's move TE in 2011. Richard Quinn is seen as a blocker more than a receiver. |
