| Footballguys view: Tate could be a big part of what the Giants do on offense. His reliability as a pass-catcher and run-after-the-catch ability makes him a fine target for young quarterback Daniel Jones. |

| Footballguys view: We'll see if Ellison would be open to a pay cut or if he wants to hit the open market. He is a reserve player behind Evan Engram and isn't asked to do that much on offense outside of block. |

| Footballguys view: Reed just can't stay healthy. We all know that he has talent and is a dangerous starting tight end, but Reed has been bitten by multiple injury bugs over the course of his career. Washington may just decide it's time to move on from the talented but oft-injured veteran. |

He's been with Washington for two seasons and has only played 17 games combined. Richardson is under contract through the 2022 season. He has a cap hit of $8.3 million in 2020 and there is $6 million remaining in dead money. |
