Is re-signing Antonio Gates the best option to replace Hunter Henry?

I still can’t get over the fact that Chargers tight end Hunter Henry tore his ACL on the first day of organized team activities (OTAs).

Henry will the miss the entire 2018 season. And, of course, the depth at the tight end position isn’t great.

Former Broncos tight end Virgil Green signed a two-year deal with the Chargers in the offseason. However, Green, 29, was brought in as a blocking tight end; he never surpassed 300 receiving yards in any of his seven seasons with Denver. Sean Culkin and Braedon Bowman, both of whom are entering their second seasons as a pro, are behind him.
