The New Orleans Saints have three starter-caliber players on their roster at tight end. And assuming Michael Hoomanawanui and Josh Hill fully recover from their injuries, they’d do best to stick with these three.
The rumors began after ESPN reporter Mike DiRocco reported that the Jaguars would not resign once-standout tight end Julius Thomas. Thomas spent two seasons with the Jags after breaking out in Denver under Payton Manning. They signed him to a five-year, $46 million contract that marked him as one of the premier TEs in the league.
Unfortunately for the Jags, Thomas never lived up to the hype.
