Blocking became more important than receiving for Saints tight ends in 2017

After years of high production at the position, tight end was suddenly a disappointing spot for the New Orleans Saints in 2017.

2017 FINAL ROSTER: Josh Hill, Michael Hoomanawanui, John Phillips

INJURED RESERVE: Coby Fleener (concussion), Garrett Griffin (foot), Clay Harbor (undisclosed)

2018 FREE AGENTS: John Phillips (unrestricted), Clay Harbor (unrestricted)
