2023 NFL Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2023.
Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

  1. Evan Engram, TE, Jaguars. Age: 28.
    Franchised by Jaguars

    Evan Engram was seen as a bust entering 2022. He came alive this past season, finally finding a home in Jacksonville. Engram was dominant at times, so perhaps he’ll continue to play at this level if he re-signs with the Jaguars.

  2. Dalton Schultz, TE, Cowboys. Age: 27.
    Signed with Texans (1 year, $9 million)

    Dalton Schultz is a talented receiving threat at tight end. He’s coming off a down year, but he caught 78 passes in 2021.

  3. Hayden Hurst, TE, Bengals. Age: 30.
    Signed with Panthers (3 years)

    Hayden Hurst turns 30 this offseason, but he can be a solid receiving threat at tight end. He missed a chunk of action during the regular season, but had a great performance against the Bills in the playoffs.

  4. Josh Oliver, TE, Ravens. Age: 26.
    Signed with Vikings (3 years, $21 million)

    Josh Oliver has been buried on the depth chart, but he’s an excellent blocker and can be a decent receiver. At just 26, Oliver has plenty of upside.

  5. Mike Gesicki, TE, Dolphins. Age: 27.
    Signed with Patriots (1 year, $9 million)

    Mike Gesicki was coming off two consecutive 700-yard receiving seasons, but saw his production diminish because of Tyreek Hill’s presence. He’s still a solid, but unspectacular tight end.

  6. Irv Smith Jr., TE, Vikings. Age: 25.
    Signed with Bengals

    The Vikings traded for T.J. Hockenson because Irv Smith Jr. couldn’t stay healthy. Smith is a physically gifted player who could eventually live up to his potential if he can remain healthy.

  7. Parker Hesse, TE, Falcons. Age: 28.
    Parker Hesse doesn’t offer much as a receiver, but he’s an excellent blocker for this position.
