Jermaine Gresham

Gresham tore his Achilles in Week 17, finishing the 2017 campaign with 33 catches for 322 yards and two touchdowns on 45 targets in 14 games. He had just three outings with more than 27 receiving yards, and he hasn't reached 500 yards in a season since 2012 when he was with the Bengals. The Cardinals hope Ricky Seals-Jones (leg) can take on a larger receiving role, but they also figure to take a close look at the top tight ends in the upcoming draft, after missing out on all the big names in free agency. Gresham will turn 30 in June, and his $5.25 million base salary for 2018 is fully guaranteed, per OverTheCap.

Good news for the Cardinals as they are very thin at TE behind Gresham. The Cardinals mainly use David Johnson in the run game and open sets with many WRs. The TE does not play a huge role in their passing offense.

Gresham missed a couple of practices with a sore hamstring but has now gotten back to the practice field ahead of the first pre-season game. Gresham is battling Darren Fells for the starting job at TE for this season and could be a sleeper candidate as a flier late in the draft this month.
