Tight end is not a position the Eagles are likely going to prioritize this offseason, and for obvious reasons. They have two of the top 10 receiving tight ends in the NFL right now in Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert. Ertz is one of the best overall at the position, and arguably the best overall. Still, the team is going to need a quality third tight end, considering how often they will run two tight-end sets. Twice the team was burned last season by only having either Goedert or Ertz available, but not both.
Bringing in a quality tight end won't be easy, considering that tight end will be third on the depth chart.
With all of that being said, here are three potential options:
MyCole Pruitt, Tennessee Titans: A backup during his time with the Titans, Pruitt has 52 games of NFL experience with 14 starts. His numbers don't jump off the page with just 27 catches and two touchdowns in five seasons, but he played well for Tennessee when called upon last season. Pruitt caught 15 of the 19 passes thrown his way for 192 yards, an average of 12.8 yards-per-catch. Although his snaps were very limited, Pro Football Focus had him ranked as the 5th best tight end in the NFL last season, which is certainly interesting considering it likely won't cost much to bring him in. Pruitt also graded out very high as a blocker, something that will be very attractive to the Eagles.
Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati Bengals: Once considered one of the best in the game, Eifert's career has been derailed by injuries. He played only six total games in 2017 and 2018, and hasn't played over 50% of his team's snaps in any of the last four seasons. In fact, Eifert has played fewer than 50% of the Bengals' snaps on offense in five of his seven seasons. Eifert bounced back somewhat last season, pulling in 43 catches for 436 yards and three touchdowns, but perhaps most importantly, played all 16 games for the first time in his career. Standing 6-foot-6, Eifert's best quality is that he can still be effective in the red zone, one that despite his injury concerns will bring interest from other teams.
Eifert might get a chance to be a top-two tight end elsewhere. If he doesn't get a good offer elsewhere, he could decide coming to Philadelphia and being the No. 3 tight end in a good offense, with a great head coach and a good chance to play meaningful snaps at some point if Ertz or Goedert go down is his best option. The Eagles would be wise to bring him in if he does.
Luke Willson, Seattle Seahawks: With Greg Olsen on his way to Seattle chances are that Willson will not be back. A seven-year veteran, Willson has played six-of-his-seven seasons with the Seahawks, and has 110 catches for 1,295 yards and 11 touchdowns in his career. Willson has good size at 6-foot-5 and would be a good fit in the Eagles' offense if either Ertz or Goedert were to go down.
