Tight End Depth Increases With Veteran Richard Rodgers

Prior to Wednesday, Zach Ertz was the only experienced tight end on the Eagles' roster.

That all changed after the team agreed to terms with veteran Richard Rodgers on a one-year deal.

A third-round pick in 2014 out of Cal, the 6-4, 257-pound Rodgers has 120 catches for 1,166 yards and 13 touchdowns in 63 regular-season games (24 starts). He also has another 13 grabs for 138 yards and two scores in seven playoff games. One of those touchdowns knocked the Dallas Cowboys out of the postseason in 2014. He also has a Hail Mary touchdown to beat the Lions in 2015 on his résumé.
