Gerald Everett to LAC

[inaudiblelance]

What are the expectations with the recent signing of Gerald Everett to LAC? He’s finished with TE2 numbers the past two years with the Rams and Seahawks but going to a team that historically highlights the TE position. plus the competition, Parham and McKitty, haven’t been big contributors to date. Do we feel the ‘rising tide’ of justin herbert will elevate everett as well?

i’m asking selfishly because he’s available on my waiver wire along with evan engram, foster moreau, harrison bryant, austin hooper, and oj howard. looking for the best of this lot.

am i falling in love with charger’s history of TE success or is everett a diamond in the rough?

this is for team 1 in my sig file.

I’d still expect TE2 numbers. I can’t see him being any higher than 4th in the pecking order behind Allen, Williams, and Ekeler.

I think him finishing similar to Cook last year which I believe was a mid-high TE2 is realistic.

Already having Pitts and Fant, and not being required to start a TE. I think I’d pass on all these guys.

If you’re set on getting one, I’d personally go Bryant, Engram, Hooper, then Everett.

TE2 with some TE1 weeks. Gonna be hard to predict. Certainly a starter in 2TE leagues with his upside. Not sure he is rostered in 1 TE leagues unless deep rosters.

Just another "plug -n-pray" for a TD tight end. I admire his play style and run after the catch aggressive willingness to fight and fall forward.

But ask any Seattle fan and they'll tell you he cost too many fumbles and dropped TDs. He's sloppy. Still, having Herbert tossing you passes is a good thing and if he is listed as the starting TE1 for LAC he's worth keeping an eye on.

I think this is his best opportunity to succeed given the system and how Cook still looked at an advances age last year. I could see with health Everett and Engram both having a shot to be top 12 TE's but we will see how they each fit in. If I had to choose between the two, I would lean Everett based on Herbert and hope he hits.
