Tight End Landing Locations

[Username]

For all the Henry, Ebron, Hooper, etc owners, where would you be excited to see them landing? Why, and where do you actually expect them to land?

Good topic. The free-agent TE class is looking pretty good, with a couple very young yet proven players available. And also there's Ebron .
Hooper best case is staying in Atlanta, IMO. And if not him, then Henry to Atlanta. Playing in the NFC South with Brees/Payton, Arians, and now the former Baylor coach, that division is set up for shootouts for several years.
I'd like to see Henry in Arizona or Seattle. Arizona simply needs weapons for Kyler, so I think he'd get used pretty well. Seattle heavily used Dissly and Hollister, who are not at Henry's level IMO. Washington or Dallas (if they lose Cooper) are also interesting options.
I think Ebron is the worst, so send him to Buffalo, please.

I doubt Buffalo is going after a big name TE they (and I) like Dawson Knox. I agree I see ATL resigning Hooper and I think SD does the same with Henry. I've been calling it for months I bet NE signs Eifert. Big red zone threat provided he stays healthy which he did this past season. I could see Ebron to Chicago. Burton & Shaheen have not worked out.

Big-name TE? Who said anything about one of those? I was talking about a backup slot WR for them.

I'd guess LAC and ATL resign there respective TEs
outside of that the two landing spots I'd prefer would be NE and DAL

What About Ebron in NE ?

What About Ebron in NE ?

That would certainly be fun. I think it's almost a guarantee NE brings in SOMEONE at TE, just not sure who.

[djeternal2]

What About Ebron in NE ?

Would be interesting but I think he would want more money than someone like Eifert would command and give similar production. NE has more holes than just TE as we've seen over the course of this year.

Most of the teams that have a ton of cap space don't have a need at TE, or have more pressing needs, so it'll be interesting.

[John Paul]

Washington has cap space and a glaring need at the position. Look for them to be in the mix to sign a vet.

Even though I agree that Dallas would be a good landing spot, it’s pretty doubtful that they will sign a big name FA TE. I would love for them to sign H.Henry, if he hits FA, but I think they will probably sign a lower tier FA blocking TE to pair with Jarwin, who’s not much of a blocker, then probably take a TE somewhere in the draft, plus, I don’t think Witten will be back, one way or another. The Cowboys have plenty of cap space, with around 79 million under and can get in the 90 million plus range with a few cuts, but with Dak, Cooper, B.Jones, R.Quinn, etc, I think they will work on keeping all of those guys first and foremost.

Well sounds like they will not be bringing back Quinn and likely will be out on Jones too. They may have a lot of cap space now, but Zeke's new deal kicks in after next year and they obviously have to keep a lot of money reserved for the upcoming deals for Dak and Amari, plus they'll probably have to do new deals for some of the OL soon. Dallas has done a great job managing the cap, but they still are going to be limited with what they can do and don't really have as much cap space as they appear to when you factor in the contracts they've recently given out and the ones soon to come. All that being said, I certainly don't see them being major players in free agency, especially at a position like TE. This draft is being kind of underrated at TE, and I think the Cowboys will probably get a good prospect on day 2, likely in the 3rd round.

I don’t think they’ll let both Quinn and Jones walk but we’ll see. Remember, every team can use two tags this offseason(assuming a new CBA deal isn’t done by March), so I’m thinking at the very least, they will use a transition tag on one of those two players, at least to but themselves another season to groom a player, but we’ll see. As far as the Oline goes, I think Tyron Smith is up next but they extended Z.Martin during the 2018 offseason and La’el Collins last season so they aren’t too bad on that front, but I get what you are saying and that’s basically what I was saying, I expect them to use their cap space, mostly in house, which is smart, IMO.
