What It Means:

The deal includes $6 million guaranteed. There was some speculation Celek would be cut after the Eagles locked up Zach Ertz to a big extension Monday, but he only had to wait a day to get his new deal. The two signings point to how important the tight end position will be in new coach Doug Pederson's offense. The Chiefs consistently used two tight ends while Pederson was in Kansas City, and Travis Kelce was a focal point of the passing offense. Ertz should be the pass-catching weapon in Philadelphia with Celek putting his blocking skills to work as the in-line option.

A better real-life player than a fantasy asset, Celek has averaged just 29.5 catches over the past two seasons. He is efficient with his limited role in the passing game. In 2015, he hauled in 27 of his 35 targets for 398 yards and three scores. Among tight ends with at least 35 targets, he finished third in Reception Net Expected Points per target.
