Five Tight Ends The Steelers Should Look at in Free Agency

Antonio Gates

5. Antonio Gates San Diego

While Gates had a huge game against the Steelers last season on Monday night, let’s not kid ourselves into thinking this is the Gates of 2009 who had 79 catches for 1157 yards and 8 touchdowns. He’s lost a step at age 35, and while maybe he’s out to prove something with another team, there’s no way he should garner anything over a two-year deal from a team. Last season after being suspended the first four weeks, he had a total of 56 catches for 630 yards and five scores. Solid numbers, but again, the Steelers shouldn’t even look at him as a long-term TE solution.

    Gresham would be a really nice pick up, probably budget friendly as well. I think a lot of people sleep on this dude. Homer pick I know, but size, hands and above par blocking coupled with James and Spaeth I think would compliment the backfield and what we are doing outside nicely.
