New York Giants TE Rhett Ellison announces retirement

Error 0:

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison has officially announced his retirement after eight years in the league.

Evan Engram can be a dynamic tight end for the New York Giants if he’s healthy. That’s a big “if” though. Across a trio of campaigns, Engram has missed a total of 14 games. He was sidelined for eight matchups this past year, including the final seven.

But in his absence, the Giants have, at times, received reliable production from Rhett Ellison. The veteran tight end — who spent five years with the Minnesota Vikings before beginning his Giants tenure in 2017 — has caught 67 balls with four touchdowns in the last three years.
