2013 Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2013.
Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

1. Tony Gonzalez, TE, Falcons. Age: 37.
   Re-signed with Falcons
   
   Tony Gonzalez somehow recorded 93 catches for 930 yards and eight touchdowns as a 36-year-old. He's expected to retire, but if he comes back, he'll still probably be able to play at a high level.
   
   
2. Martellus Bennett, TE, Giants. Age: 26.
   Signed with Bears
   
   Martellus Bennett was solid all around for the Giants in terms of receiving and blocking. He proved that he can be a quality starting tight end in the NFL, so he'll be rewarded accordingly.
   
   
   
   
3. Dustin Keller, TE, Jets. Age: 28.
   Signed with Dolphins
   
   Dustin Keller caught a career-high 65 balls for 815 yards and five touchdowns in 2011, but barely played this year because of various injuries.
   
   
4. Dennis Pitta (RFA), TE, Ravens. Age: 28.
   Tendered by Ravens (2nd round)
   
   Dennis Pitta really grew at the end of the season to become one of Joe Flacco's more reliable targets. He finished the year with 61 catches, 669 yards and seven touchdowns.
   
   
5. Brandon Myers, TE, Raiders. Age: 27.
   Signed with Giants
   
   Brandon Myers isn't much of a blocker, but he was a very dependable target for Carson Palmer in 2012, catching close to 80 balls.
   
   
6. Jared Cook, TE, Titans. Age: 26.
   Signed with Rams (5 years)
   
   Jared Cook has tons of potential, but has never developed. He hauled in 49 receptions for 759 yards in 2011, but regressed this past season. That could be blamed on poor quarterbacking though, so some team should take a chance on him.
   
   
7. Delanie Walker, TE, 49ers. Age: 29.
   Signed with Titans
   
   Delanie Walker doesn't play a big part as a receiving tight end, but he's a tremendous blocker.
   
   
   
   
8. Anthony Fasano, TE, Dolphins. Age: 29.
   Signed with Chiefs
   
   Anthony Fasano is only a mediocre pass-catcher, but he's great as a blocker.
   
   
9. Fred Davis, TE, Redskins. Age: 27.
   Signed with Redskins (1 year)
   
   Already an overrated player, Fred Davis tore his Achilles in October. He won't be completely healthy next year.
   
   
10. Ed Dickson (RFA), TE, Ravens. Age: 26.
    Tendered by Ravens (2nd round)
    
    Ed Dickson has lots of potential, but he's never developed into the type of receiving threat the Ravens hoped he'd become when they took him in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
    
    
11. Jeff Cumberland (RFA), TE, Jets. Age: 26.
    Tendered by Jets (original)
    
    Jeff Cumberland caught 29 balls for 359 yards and three touchdowns in relief of an injured Dustin Keller. He also blocked well.
    
    
12. Ben Watson, TE, Browns. Age: 32.
    Signed with Saints
    
    Ben Watson's best days are behind him. He caught 49 passes for 501 yards and three touchdowns in 2012.
    
    
13. Matt Spaeth, TE, Bears. Age: 29.
    Signed with Steelers
    
    Matt Spaeth is an awesome blocker, but doesn't offer much as a receiver.
    
    
14. Ben Hartsock, TE, Panthers. Age: 33.
    Re-signed with Panthers
    
    Ben Hartsock offers nothing as a pass-catcher, but he's one of the better blocking tight ends in football.
    
    
    
    
    
15. Michael Hoomanawanui (RFA), TE, Patriots. Age: 25.
16. Dallas Clark, TE, Buccaneers. Age: 34.
17. David Thomas, TE, Saints. Age: 30.
18. Kellen Davis, TE, Bears. Age: 27. -- Signed with Browns

20. Kevin Boss, TE, Chiefs. Age: 29.
21. Randy McMichael, TE, Chargers. Age: 34.
22. Steve Maneri (RFA), TE, Chiefs. Age: 25. -- Signed with Bears
23. Evan Moore, TE, Eagles. Age: 28.
24. Will Heller, TE, Lions. Age: 32.
25. Dante Rosario, TE, Chargers. Age: 28.
26. Tom Crabtree (RFA), TE, Packers. Age: 27. -- Signed with Buccaneers
27. Gary Barnidge, TE, Panthers. Age: 27. -- Signed with Browns (3 years)
28. John Phillips, TE, Cowboys. Age: 26. -- Signed with Chargers (3 years)
29. Bear Pascoe, TE, Giants. Age: 27. -- Re-signed with Giants (1 year, $715,000)
30. Zach Potter, TE, Jaguars. Age: 27.

32. Billy Bajema, TE, Ravens. Age: 30.
33. Michael Palmer (RFA), TE, Falcons. Age: 25. -- Signed with Giants
34. Chris Cooley, TE, Redskins. Age: 31.
35. Leonard Pope, TE, Steelers. Age: 29.
36. Travis Beckum, TE, Giants. Age: 26.
37. Dick Quinn, TE, Bengals. Age: 26. -- Re-signed with Bengals
