It’s July which means we’ve got time for a hypothetical exercise.
Specifically, I want to talk about Brent Celek. The Philadelphia Eagles tight end is a former favorite of Andy Reid, a well-known team player who has good hands and is an even better blocker. Despite his skills, however, Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice recently wondered whether Celek has a place on the Eagles long-term given a number of factors: his age (32), his cap hit ($4 million this year, $5 million in 2018) and the presence of Zach Ertz and Trey Hudson. Kempski predicts that Celek is likely playing his final season with Philly.
