The new league year is just around the corner. When it gets here, that means free agency. And who amongst us doesn’t get excited at seeing player X holding up the jersey of team Y after years of success with team Z, only to become too expensive to keep? Of course, it is a period of funny money, with deals of five years with multi-millions of dollars in guarantees essentially turning into two years and “we’ll see.” But it’s nice to dream, isn’t it?

Here, I look at the five biggest free agents at the tight end spot ahead of them hitting the open market. These include players who will look to cash in after playing out rookie deals, or seasoned vets looking for one last hurrah, or players just looking for a fresh start. Let’s dive straight in.

Planting Flags: Who Are the RotoViz Writer’s “Guys” in the 2024 NFL Draft?

With the 2024 NFL Draft mere days away, I thought it would be a good idea to let the readers know who are the apples of the RotoViz team’s eyes in this particular draft class. Not necessarily the best player, or the most discussed, but the players who have perhaps flown somewhat under the radar, but whose landing spot is something we will be watching…...

Sam LaPorta and his Merry Men: The 2023 Rookie Tight End Review

Sam LaPorta enjoyed one of the better rookie seasons for a tight end in NFL history. But he wasn’t the only fresh-faced newbie to come into the NFL at fantasy sports’ most toxic position in 2023. Indeed, the position has received a healthy boost of young talent in recent years. This talent is set to fill the void left by the inevitable drop-off from Travis…...

Noah Fant: The More Things Stay the Same, the More They Change
