The Washington Redskins eschewed adding a top-tier talent at tight end in free agency. This was perplexing to fans as the team is sorely lacking at the position in the wake of Jordan Reed‘s release and Vernon Davis‘ retirement. It wasn’t like those two guys were reliable anyway at the end of their respective careers — concussions sidelined both for massive chunks of last season — but still, losing both hurt the team.
Many figured the ‘Skins would target some of the top tight end talent on the open market. After all, the 2020 NFL Draft class is weak at the tight end position.
