It will be interesting to see how the Green Bay Packers approach the tight end position this offseason. More specifically, what will the team do with soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Robert Tonyan?
Tonyan blossomed into a star for the Packers’ offense in 2020 after posting career-highs in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. The 2021 season was expected to be a big year for the tight end, but it was cut short by an ACL injury suffered halfway through the season. Tonyan finished with 18 catches, 204 yards and two touchdowns in eight games.
A season-ending injury could help the Packers at the negotiating table.
