WHO'S POTENTIALLY OUT THERE:
NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal and Chris Wesseling teamed up again this year to rate their top 101 potential free agents.
The following tight ends are listed in order of their overall rankings: 19. Hunter Henry, 32. Austin Hooper, 62. Eric Ebron, 101. Jordan Reed
Other tight ends set to become free agents that didn't crack the top 101 are as follows (listed in order of 2019 team): Charles Clay (AZ), J.P. Holtz* (CHI), Tyler Eifert (CIN), Ricky Seals-Jones (CLE), Jason Witten and Blake Jarwin* (DAL), Logan Thomas (DET), Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan* (GB), Darren Fells (HOU), Seth DeValve and Nick O'Leary (JAX), Blake Bell (KC), Lance Kendricks (LAC), Benjamin Watson (NE), Richard Rodgers (PHI), Ross Dwelley** (SF), Levine Toilolo (SF), Jacob Hollister (SEA), Luke Willson (SEA), Tyrone Swoopes** (SEA), MyCole Pruitt (TEN)
* Restricted free agent
** Exclusive rights free agent
Two former Vikings are scheduled to hit free agency in just under two weeks. Both players advanced into the 2019 postseason, and one earned a Super Bowl ring.
Pruitt spent time with three teams over his first two NFL seasons but settled with Tennessee from 2018-19 and contributed on offense and special teams. Last season, he totaled six catches for 90 yards and scored a touchdown in the regular-season finale against Houston.
Originally a 2015 draft pick by San Francisco in 2015, Bell spent the 2017 campaign with Minnesota. He then played for the Jaguars in 2018 before signing with the Chiefs for the 2019 season.
Bell had eight catches for 67 yards during the 2019 regular season. He scored his first touchdown of the season in the Divisional Round game against the Texans and helped the Chiefs advance to – and win – Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
Also set to become free agents are a pair of well-established veteran tight ends in Witten and Watson.
After retiring for the 2018 season, Witten returned to the field in 2019 and had 63 catches for 529 yards and four touchdowns for the Cowboys. Watson, whom the Patriots drafted in 2004, returned to New England and played 11 games (including the postseason) for the Patriots last season.
