Ravens TE Todd Heap caught a pass from rookie QBJoe Flacco on the opening drive Week 1 against the Bengals, but after converting the first down, he fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Cincinnati.
Heap only caught one of the five passes thrown his way for five yards.
Flacco tried to get Heap involved in the game plan, but after he fumbled on the first catch and then dropped a touchdown in the end zone in the second quarter, the rookie QB lost faith. There was even one point Heap got drilled by a Cincinnati defender and laid on the ground for a few minutes. It was a rough Week 1.
Buttafuoco Stallions management quickly responded by waiving Heap but not before officially retiring the TE's jersey in an emotional ceremony that took place by the loading dock doors at the Stallions training facilities in Waukee, Iowa.
The Stallions GM and head coach, Adam Lowell, suggested that Heap's departure leaves, "a big gap on the roster for consistently underperforming and overall disappointing talent".
Lowell did express optimism that RB Earnest Graham could quickly replace Heap's role on the roster as a no-talent ass clown.
