Gaines did not catch a pass in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
He finished the season with only five receptions for 59 yards and a score. It would be unreasonable to expect a big 2010 season after six years of mediocrity in the league.

2003
Gaines was signed for his blocking ability, as the Bears do not need another pass catching tight end. He will compete with Kellen Davis for the third tight end role.
Gaines will be the second tight end for Detroit, but could move into a starting role if Dan Campbell cannot stay healthy.
Not since Wesley Walls in 2002 have the Panthers utilized the tight end in the offense. They were 31st in tight-end receiving yardage (317 yards) and tied for 26th with 37 receptions. The good news for Gaines is that Kris Mangum retired, leaving the No. 1 job to him. But that only goes so far on a team that targeted the tight end just six times in the red zone.
Gaines, a seventh-round pick, will back up Kris Mangum and Mike Seidman at the tight end position for the Panthers this season. Gaines could make an impact a year or two down the line but will not have much of a role in the Panthers' offense this season.
Should be in the tight end mix as a rookie.
