Thomas Duarte, our 154th ranked tight end, is best suited to
be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because they
could use a player of this quality after losing David Wells for an extended period of time. The Buccaneers
currently have 3 healthy tight ends, and 1 is
rated better than Duarte: (Cade Otton).
The Buccaneers currently have no
tight ends under contract beyond the 2027 season,
so Duarte is probably looking at a one year deal, due to his rank, with the team.
