Joker, or “move” tight ends are becoming very prominent in the NFL, and for good reason. The league is all about creating mismatches, and these Joker TE’s, who are really just jumbo wider receivers, can do just that.
The Redskins may have the worst tight end group in the entire NFL. They are led by the uninspiring Jeremy Sprinkle, who is in the last year of his rookie deal, and likely won’t be retained by the team going forward. Behind him is converted Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas(29 next month), who to date has a career 35 receptions for 317 yards and just two career touchdowns and Richard Rodgers, who the Skins signed as a free agent in March.
