2019 NFL Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2019.
Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

  1. Jared Cook, TE, Raiders. Age: 32.
    Signed with Saints

    Jared Cook is coming off an amazing year. He’s enjoyed several 100-yard receiving games, as he and Derek Carr formed some terrific chemistry. It took Cook a while to blossom, but he’s finally done it. Unfortunately for Cook, he turns 32 this offseason.



  2. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Patriots. Age: 26.
    Austin Seferian-Jenkins had a great year in 2017 for the Jets, but did nothing in Jacksonville last year. Part of that can be blamed on Blake Bortles, so it’s possible for Seferian-Jenkins to bounce back in 2019.

  3. Jesse James, TE, Steelers. Age: 25.
    Signed with Lions (4 years, $25 million; $11 million guaranteed)

    Jesse James is known for his non-catch/catch against the Patriots in 2017, but he’s an excellent blocking tight end with some plus receiving ability. He’s also just 25 (in June), so he has a decent amount of potential to improve in the latter regard.

  4. Nick Boyle, TE, Ravens. Age: 26.
    Re-signed with Ravens (3 years, $18 million)

    Nick Boyle is an excellent blocking tight end. He’s unlikely to develop into a potent receiver, but he’s at least functional as a pass-catcher.

  5. Tyler Eifert, TE, Bengals. Age: 28.
    Re-signed with Bengals (1 year)

    Tyler Eifert is extremely talented, so it’s such a shame that he can’t stay healthy at all. Eifert has played just 14 of 48 possible games over the past three years. He’d be rated much higher if it wasn’t for his poor durability.



  6. James O’Shaughnessy, TE, Jaguars. Age: 27.
    Re-signed with Jaguars

    James O’Shaughnessy doesn’t offer much as a receiver – 24 catches in 2018 – but he’s a tremendous blocking tight end.

  7. Luke Stocker, TE, Titans. Age: 31.
    Signed with Falcons (2 years)

    Luke Stocker doesn’t catch many passes, but he’s an excellent blocking tight end.
