SCOTT CHANDLER, TE, New England Patriots

The Seahawks are saying all the right things about Jimmy Graham, but the reality is that he might not be 100% healthy for the start of the season. That leaves Luke Willson as the primary TE. Chandler stands 6’7″ and weighs 270 pounds and is a solid 2-way tight end. He’s caught 205 passes, mostly as a Buffalo Bill, but is a reliable blocker also.

With the Seahawks offensive line sure to need some time to gel at the beginning of the season, bringing in a veteran tight end to help out in pass protection isn’t a bad idea. Anything he did as a receiver would be a bonus.
