  • According to Philly Voice's Jimmy Kepski, TE Brent Celek may be entering his final season with the Philadelphia Eagles.
  • Philadelphia’s tight end has seen his role decline over the last three seasons. After a 32 catch 2014, Celek accumulated 27 catches in 2015 and a career-low 14 catches in 2016.
  • Celek’s targets have also decreased, accumulating only 17 last season after being thrown at 32 times in 2015 and 47 times in 2014.
  • The veteran was our 46th ranked tight end out of 63 qualifiers (52.1 overall grade), only averaging 1.23 yards per route run (55th best at his position).
  • The Eagles feel strongly about their tight end corps, with Zach Ertz atop the depth chart and Trey Burton as a versatile option behind him, so Celek’s time in Philadelphia may be coming to an end.
