NFL Teams Evaluate Draft Options for Tight End Replacements

Several NFL teams are exploring options to upgrade at tight end, both through the draft and potential trades. The Buffalo Bills are likely to draft a tight end to fill their TE3 spot, aiming for a cost-effective backup behind Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid, with multiple prospects highlighted as possible targets. The Baltimore Ravens may be open to trading star tight end Mark Andrews, with the Los Angeles Chargers considered a top destination due to Andrews' fit with offensive coordinator Greg Roman and the team’s need for an elite receiving tight end. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts are also expected to pursue a tight end, possibly through a trade for the Eagles’ Dallas Goedert or the Raiders’ Michael Mayer, though Goedert’s age and contract status may make Mayer a more viable option for Indianapolis. These developments reflect a broader trend of teams leveraging both the draft and the trade market to address critical needs at the tight end position.
