Dak Prescott

Old TeamNew Team
DALDAL
Stats2020: in 4 games before injury he was throwing for 422.5 yards per game on 50.25 attempts
RelatedAmari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Blake Jawrwin

The four games he played last year was a small sample size but he was on pace to shatter the record for both pass attempts and yards in an NFL season. This deal makes him the face of the Cowboys franchise to go along with Zeke Elliott, Amari Cooper, Ceedee Lamb, Tyron Smith, and Zach Martin who are all locked up until at least 2024. The window is now.

Cam Newton

Old TeamNew Team
NENE
Stats2020: 8 Pass TD, 10 INT, 12 rush TDs
RelatedN'Keal Harry, Jonnu Smith, Jakobi Meyers

The deal is reportedly 1 year, $5 million and heavily laden with incentives, making it about as much of a "prove it" deal as you can imagine. It doesn't preclude New England from drafting a quarterback as well.

Jameis Winston

The deal is for 1 year $10 million. *Update* Trubisky is gone and Robinson has signed his franchise tender so it looks like Dalton is pretty locked into the starting gig.

Jacoby Brissett

This is a 1 year $5 mil deal. Brissett is likely to be the strict backup to Tua with the exception of throwing a random Hail Mary here or there.

Well this one is unexpected. Even if Josh Jacobs gets suspended based on his DUI arrest, the deal is 2 years $11 mil that could go to $14.5 with incentives. That’s a good chunk of change for a “backup”.

Leonard Fournette

It was a tough year for James White and not surprising after having to deal with his parents getting into a serious car accident mid season that killed his father. The Patriots bring back the reliable pass catching back for 1 year, just under $2.5 million.

Chris Carson

Old TeamNew Team
SEASEA
Stats2020: 141 carries, 685 yards, 5 TDs
RelatedRashaad Penny

The deal for Carson is reportedly 2 years $10.425 million with a dreaded "void year" in the third year. Using the voided year is about as big of a "mortgaging the future" play as you can make. For fantasy football, Pete Carrol does love his guys so Carson should be a safe play once again.

James Conner

Old TeamNew Team
PITARI
Stats2020: 721 yards, 6 TD, 35 rec
RelatedChase Edmonds

One year, $1.75 million is a fairly underwhelming contract for Conner considering a guy like Jamaal Williams got 2 years ~$6 million with $3.25 million guaranteed. He’ll likely take the running down work with Edmonds skewing more passing downs.

Marlon Mack

Old TeamNew Team

Marlon Mack tore his Achilles in the first game of the season in 2020 but the Colts seem to believe in him, bringing him back for 1 years $2 million. Taylor owners can’t be too pleased.

Devontae Booker

LARMIA
Stats2020: 101 carries, 419 yards, 5 TDs

CARATL
Stats2020: 165 carries, 942 yardds, 6 TDs
RelatedTodd Gurley, Ito Smith, Brian Hill

Here's one that makes a lot of sense. Mike Davis for Falcons, 2 years $5.5. He showed he can carry the load backing up CMC and he brings over valuable intel from a division rival. Have to imagine Davis factors in on early down with Todd Gurley in more of a third down, Devonta Freeman role.

Phillip Lindsay

DENHOU
Stats2020: 118 rush, 502 yards, 1 TD
RelatedDavid Johnson

Lindsay has been one of the more successful undrafted free agents, putting up two 1,000 yard seasons with the Broncos. Pass blocking has been the primary issue for the smaller back, grading outside the top 80 RBs all three years and as low as RB141. He signs for 1 year, $3.25 million.

Mark Ingram

Mike Boone

MINDEN
Stats2020: 69 yards from scrimmage, 1 TD
RelatedMelvin Gordon

Boone never really got a chance to play much in Minnesota behind one of the best RBs (Dalvin Cook) and one of the best backups (Alexander Mattison). He'll see more daylight in Denver behind Melvin Gordon with Phillip Lindsay gone. The deal is reportedly 2 years, $3.85 million.

Giovani Bernard

Old TeamNew Team
CINTB
Stats2020: 771 yards from scrimmage, 6 TDs, 47 rec
RelatedLeonard Fournette, Ronald Jones, Keshawn Vaughn

Gio was simply owed too much money this year and was clearly not willing to negotiate. His unique skillset featuring pass blocking, screens, and dump passes should be reminiscent of James White for Tom Brady in Tampa.

TIGHT ENDS

Jonnu Smith

Old TeamNew Team
TENNE
Stats2020: 41 catches, 448 yards, 8 TDs
RelatedDevin Asiasi, Dalton Keene

New England has struggled to replace Rob Gronkowski since his retirement and subsequent trade to Tampa Bay. Jonnu fits the mold of what New England needs from a starting tight end which is a great run blocker as well as a threat in the passing game, especially in the red zone. Smith was used a lot as a blocker during his time in Tennessee and his contract sets the market for free agent tight ends this offseason.

Rob Gronkowski

Old TeamNew Team
TBTB
Stats2020: 45 rec, 623 yards, 7 touchdowns

Gronk receives a 1 year, $10 million deal to play with his pal Tom Brady as the Bucs continue their attempt to bring back as many pieces of their championship team as possible.

Hunter Henry

Old TeamNew Team
LACNE
Stats2020: 60 receptions, 613 yards, 4 TDS
RelatedJonnu Smith, Cam Newton

In the biggest surprise of the offseason the Pats bring in both the top two free agent tight ends. The offense will likely look similar to the offense run with Gronk and Martellus Bennett or what the Eagles did with Ertz/Goedert. Both Jonnu and Henry got $12.5 mil per year, 4 years for Jonnu and 3 for Henry.

Gerald Everett

Jared Cook

Old TeamNew Team
NOLAC
Stats2020: 37 rec, 504 yards, 7 TDs

The deal is for 1 year $6 million. The 34 year old primary pass catching tight end is probably enough to crush any Donald Parham hype.

Cethan Carter

Old TeamNew Team
CINMIA
Stats2020: 5 rec, 53 yards

Carter is listed at tight end but he's more of a fullback/tight end hybrid that specializes in blocking off the edge. He signs a three year deal with Miami.

Anthony Firkser

Old TeamNew Team
TENTEN
Stats2020: 39 rec, 387 yards, 1 TD
RelatedRyan Tanehill, Geoff Swaim

He was a restricted free agent so highly likely to come back anyway but they agreed to a deal rather than the tender. With Jonnu Smith, Adam Humphries, and Corey Davis gone, there are targets available and possibly an increased role out of the slot.

Kyle Rudolph

Old TeamNew Team
MINNYG
Stats2020: 28 rec, 334 yards, 1 TD
RelatedEvan Engram, Saquon Barkley

This is a surprisingly big deal for the veteran TE at 2 years $16 mil. Unless Engram is being traded, it looks like they are gearing up for a Goedert/Ertz, Boyle/Andrews style two tight end offense with Engram perhaps taking over for Golden Tate in the slot.

Nick Vannett

Old TeamNew Team
DENNO
Stats2020: 14 rec, 95 yards, 1 TD
RelatedAdam Trautman, Alvin Kamara

Vannett is reportedly joining the Saints on a three year deal. This is good news for dynasty owners of both Adam Trautman and Alvin Kamara. They aren't just going to have one tight end on the roster so replacing Jared Cook and Josh Hill with a blocking TE rather than a pass catcher increases the value of the rest of the players who do catch passes.

Marcedes Lewis

Old TeamNew Team
GBGB
Stats2020: 10 rec, 107 ards, 3 TDs
RelatedRobert Tonyan, Aaron Jones

Blocking tight end Marcedes Lewis is back on a 2 year, $8 million deal. In the pass game he's more of a threat for a random TD here or there than anything so he doesn't hurt Robert Tonyan.

Dan Arnold

Old TeamNew Team
ARICAR

Ian Thomas ran the 9th most routes of any tight end but finished with the 47th most receptions. It would be an understatement to say he ‘wasn’t involved much”. Arnold signs for 2 years, $6 million to help out in the pass game.

Golladay possesses a unique size/speed combination that allows him to both beat the jam and be a deep threat. He’s a lock to play split end for the G-Men. With Saquon garnering so many targets, there’s likely only room for one more fantasy relevant pass catcher on the team.
