McKeon is gone but they still have seven tight ends: Ferguson, Schoonmaker, Hendershot, Princeton Fant, John Stephens, Spann-Ford, and Holler.
You are right, Mckeon is gone. But lets look at the others on the roster and it becomes clear why we should be looking at TE or at least have TEs going into the offseason:
Jake Ferguson is a keeper and ready to go
Schoonmaker had offseason shoulder surgery - when will he be ready for offseason work?
John Stephens is coming off a torn ACL
Peyton Hendershot is an overrated JAG going into the last year of his contract
Princeton Fant - who knows about this guy

Probably need Spann-Ford and Holler just to have guys to use to get through offseason programs. Also, it's not like most of the TEs on the roster aren't replaceable. The only one that has proved to have any worht in games is Ferguson.

Spann-Ford might make the team over Hendershot. Both guys have issues with drops but there's a much higher ceiling with Spann-Ford.

Spann-Ford appears to be a good blocker and when you follow the money that they gave him it looks like he will make the team.
1. Ferguson
2. Shoemaker
3. Stephens
4. Spann-Ford

Don't forget Princeton Fant.

Fergy is a Pro Bowler

Schoon should take a 2nd year leap and improve his blocking. Remember Schultz took 2-3 years before he took off.

Hendershot may be out of luck.

Stephens Jr. showed a ton of upside he before tearing his ACL.

Spann-Ford shows upside. Willing and improving blocker with huge frame. Think he makes the 53 over Hendershot
Ferguson is a terrible run blocker. Can he improve? Everyone can improve. But none of our TEs blocked last year, and it was a problem. The top two guys aren’t going anywhere, but this kid at 6’6” 270, 4.7 forty, is lean and mean. You can fine video of him against Ohio State and Illinois, punishing defenders. I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t make the team. Agreed
