Redskins' Tight End Situation is Rough and They Need to Call Delanie Walker
By Dylan McCaffrey
The Washington Redskins are in dire need of some tight end help, and it's lucky for them that they still have some options.
They lost Vernon Davis to retirement, Jordan Reed has been released and Logan Thomas is a low-end NFL tight end. It's time they make their best offer to Delanie Walker.
The Redskins have expressed interest in TE Delanie Walker. So, too, have the Colts and the Packers, per source. Not sure anything happens fast, but those are the teams who have expressed some level of interest.

This is the guy they need to pick up as soon as possible, because their TE rotation is lacking a sure-fire option.
The team recently signed Thomas, who is a quarterback turned into a tight end. Since 2017, with both the Lions and Bills, he has 35 receptions and two touchdowns to his name.

So, what can Walker give you?
For one, he's the best available veteran on the market, and he's a stud when at 100%. He hasn't been able to stay healthy for the last couple of years, but keep in mind he made the Pro Bowl three straight times from 2015-2017.

I love the hate just remember I put up them number whenever one knew I was getting the ball don’t get it twisted ?
With at least 800 receiving yards in each of those seasons, Walker could be a cheap and reliable option for a Redskins team starved for tight end production.
