Tight end has taken on more importance than ever in the NFL, which is why the biggest names will garner tons of interest in free agency.
TE. Denver. Julius Thomas. 1. player. 28. Denver has some hard decisions to make for their salary cap, and the hardest of all may be sacrificing Julius Thomas in order to retain Demaryius Thomas. If that’s true, the standout tight end may wish to head home to California, where he became an avid Oakland Raiders fan and whom need help at that position.
Jordan Cameron. 2. player. 36. This is exactly the kind of move the Seattle Seahawks are known for. Pouncing out of nowhere to land a serious difference-maker. Jordan Cameron would fill a big need for them at tight end and he’d get to join a winning team. The Seahawks make the most sense since their head coach is Pete Carroll, the same man who recruited Cameron to USC.. TE. Cleveland
Gary Kubiak stays loyal to players he loves and that’s been proven with Owen Daniels. The two have logged time together in both Houston and Baltimore. There is no reason to think the veteran tight end won’t follow his coach to Denver, especially since that team may have need of help at the position.. TE. Baltimore. Owen Daniels. 3. player. 45
Cincinnati. Jermaine Gresham. 4. player. 123. Jason Witten is still as productive as ever but he’s getting along in years and the Dallas Cowboys didn’t get much else at tight end outside of him. Bringing in somebody like Jermaine Gresham, with his big catch radius and solid blocking would be a tremendous help. In turn the Cowboys make sense for him since it gets him much closer to his home state of Oklahoma.. TE
