Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Seferian-Jenkins was also arrested for DUI in 2016 with the Bucs. He spent last year out of the league after failing to make it to training camp with the Patriots. Seferian-Jenkins will likely be facing a suspension if he gets another NFL chance.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the tight end plans to step away from football for a month to tend to personal matters. It remains to be seen if Seferian-Jenkins will catch on elsewhere after that time, or perhaps even re-join the Patriots. In any case, now that he is no longer in the mix, Ben Watson (suspension), Matt LaCosse, Ryan Izzo, Stephen Anderson and Andrew Beck remain on New England's tight end depth chart.

Seferian-Jenkins' absence was excused, but the tight end is expected to return for the Patriots' upcoming minicamp. Once he takes the field with his new team, Seferian-Jenkins will compete for tight end snaps with Benjamin Watson and Matt LaCosse, among others, as the Pats look to fill the void created by the retirement of Rob Gronkowski. While Seferian-Jenkins has yet to establish himself as a consistent fantasy option, the 2014 second-rounder does bring a nice combination of size and athleticism to the table. Though his role in the New England offense has yet to be determined, there's potential value to be had in whichever tight end eventually secures the largest share of targets vacated by Gronkowski.

With Jimmy Graham heading to Green Bay and Luke Willson unsigned, the Seahawks have a glaring need at tight end, where blocking specialist Nick Vannett (back) and converted quarterback Tyrone Swoopes are the only players on the roster as free agency begins. A 2014 second-round pick, Seferian-Jenkins failed in Tampa Bay while dealing with off-field issues and disagreements with coaches, but he re-emerged as a useful dump-off target for the Jets last season, catching 50 of 74 passes for 357 yards and three scores. His marks of 7.1 yards per catch and 4.8 yards per target were among the worst in the league for a tight end or wideout, but they're largely reflective of how he was used by the Jets. ASJ likely would get more downfield chances in Seattle, where Graham averaged 4.0 catches for 47.6 yards per game with 18 touchdowns in 43 appearances the past three seasons. Seferian-Jenkins is only 25 years old, and he's already in the Seattle area to work out near his alma mater (University of Washington).
