For the past four seasons, the Eagles have had the same three tight ends on their roster. Other positions have churned. Zach Ertz, Brent Celek, and Trey Burton were part of an impenetrable fraternity, with one teammate leaving and no one joining the trio that won a Super Bowl together.
This is the offseason when that will likely change. Burton is a free agent and could command a big contract elsewhere. Celek, 33, will count $5 million against the salary cap next season. He said this week that he wants to continue playing, although that would be an expensive price tag for the Eagles’ longest-tenured player.
