Tight Ends
Julius Thomas
Height: 6-5
Weight: 250 lbs.
Age: 26
Is Thomas the product of the Broncos' high-powered offense or worth breaking the bank for? Size and talent are not an issue, but Thomas is seeking top-tier tight end money and several teams could be priced out of his market by teams with lots of cap space.
Potential landing spots: Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars
Jordan Cameron
Height: 6-5
Weight: 249 lbs.
Age: 26
Cameron's flashed a glimpse of his potential in 2013 when he caught 80 passes for 917 yards and seven touchdowns. Since, concussions have plagued his career and his production has dipped. The right offense could cure the USC product of his untapped potential.
Potential landing spots: Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers
Charles Clay (received transition tag)
Height: 6-3
Weight: 255 lbs.
Age: 26
Clay is an interesting target for a franchise looking to project what he could be in a more dynamic offense. Clay's versatility is an asset, but injuries have constantly slowed him down. The price tag won't be as high as some of the others on this list, so Clay could end up being the best value at tight end.
Potential landing spots: Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens
Jermaine Gresham
Height: 6-5
Weight: 260 lbs.
Age: 26
A weak draft class could help Jermaine Gresham immensely. Still young enough to be considered a player with upside, teams looking for a solid red-zone threat will turn to Gresham. Over the past four seasons, Gresham has averaged five touchdowns per year.
Potential landing spots: Oakland Raiders, Green Bay Packers, Washington Redskins
Owen Daniels
Height: 6-3
Weight: 245
Age: 32
Owen Daniels has played his entire career under Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak so a move to Denver, a team likely to have a need at tight end, is a good bet. Age and injury have taken their toll on Daniels, but in the right offense, he could excel once again.
Potential landing spots: Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons
