Packer Roster Breakdown - Tight Ends

 The NFL is in a transition - the Tight End position is becoming a more important cog in the NFL's offensive scheme!  And, that is at the expense of the traditional fullback position -(No more Packers chants of Kuuuuuuuuuuuuhn!)  Maybe, Tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn?

The current tight ends on the roster:

Mercedes Lewis - Year 15

Robert Tonyan - Year 3

Dominique Dafney - Rookie

Jace Sternberger - Year 2

Josiah Deguara - Rookie

Bronson Kaufusi - Year 3

Issac Nauta - Year 2

John Lovett - Year 2

Leader of the Pack, "BIG DOG" Mercedes Lewis, and this was Year 15!  A lot of "wear" on the treads of those cleats!  Aaron Rodgers LOVES him.  The players seem to look up to him.  Seems to still have the run blocking skills & once in awhile. a big catch!  But, a year 16?  Not a normal year for a tight end?  As a leader, maybe worth a small investment? A Free Agent in 2021, on a money tight Packer team!

Robert Tonyan is "the man"!  And, another Packer Free Agent!  But, in my world a MUST sign!  The stats: Tie for 1st - TD receptions, 13th in receptions for TE - 52. & 13th in yards for TE - 586 yards.  Tonyan is on the way to becoming one of the NFL's TE's!  So, why sign him?  Well we have a 16 year veteran and all the other TE's on the roster, we have NO IDEA!

Dafney, had on OK game, Rookie Deguara & second year man Sternberger no clue!  The others, never even seen them on the field!  May be worth the draft selection, but because of money, we really need to see if Sternberger & DeGuara are worth keeping?

So, to stay an elite NFL offense, Rodgers NEEDS 1 0r 2 REAL tight ends!
