Tight End

  1. Zach Ertz
  2. Brent Celek
  3. Trey Burton (emergency tight end)

Both Ertz and Celek received contract extensions this offseason. Ertz has turned out to be one of the Eagles’ top offensive weapons and, as such, will likely get the lion’s share of the reps. Celek may not be as quick as he used to be, but he is a phenomenal blocker and will see close to the amount of reps as Ertz does. With Trey Burton as the front-runner to be the Eagles’ starting fullback, he could end up seeing some snaps as an emergency tight end.
