The Washington Football Team has quite a lot of questions at tight end that need to be answered during 2020 NFL training camp.

If you were to ask even casual fans of the Washington Football Team what the weakest position on their roster is, many would answer tight end. And they would be right.

While there are some intriguing options at the tight end position, all of the players on the roster figure to be role players at best. Vertical threats. Blocking tight ends. Jacks of all trades. Washington has them all.

But a true No. 1 tight end? Or a player that is guaranteed to be a good starter? That’s something that the team lacks.

Barring a surprise transaction before the season — one that would likely have to be a trade — Washington will roll with what they have at the position. They will get by, but there’s no doubt that the position won’t be ideal. Still, they should be able to cobble together a rotation that should work well enough.

Who will make up that rotation? And what options does the team have? Here’s a look at the seven tight ends on Washington’s roster ahead of 2020 NFL training camp.
