Washington Football Team Free Agency Evaluation: Tight Ends
Upper Tier
Hunter Henry, Chargers
Hunter Henry is the biggest name among the free-agent tight ends, but will he be available? Strong rumors suggest that he will be tagged by the Chargers with the intent to sign a long-term deal. If Henry somehow becomes available, the Washington Football Team is unlikely to offer him a contract. The price will be too high.
Rob Gronkowski, Buccaneers

Rob Gronkowski in a Washington uniform this fall? THE Rob Gronkowski? Could it happen? Time for a reality check. Gronkowski is not coming to Ashburn — unless it is in the playoffs again early next year. It’s a nice thought, but Gronk is going to be back with Tampa Bay in 2021.
Robert Tonyan, Packers
Robert Tonyan came out of nowhere to have a great season for Green Bay. It helps to have the league MVP throwing passes his way. Tonyan is a restricted free agent and the Packers will certainly place a second-round tender on him and that should keep Washington from making an offer. Tonyan will be spending another season in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin.
Prediction: Each of these tight ends would be a solid addition in Washington, but their current teams will not let them get a taste of free agency in 2021.
