Power Ranking the Tight End Rooms in the NFC East

The NFC East tight end rooms are receiving attention as preseason basketball kicks off. After losing Dalton Schultz to the Houston Texans, the Dallas Cowboys welcomed Devin Ferguson, who had 71 catches and 761 yards in 2023, and set a career-high with 82 catches and eight touchdowns last season. Dallas' second tight end, Casey Schoonmaker, hasn't shattered expectations but is likely to provide around 20 catches and 200 yards.

Philadelphia's Eagles have bolstered their roster by drafting Seth Schoonmaker in the second round of the 2026 draft, demonstrating a clear vision for his future role. The consistent Eagles tight end, Zach Ertz, has consistently delivered high performance for the last seven years, with never less than 42 catches or 496 yards in any given season. The 31-year-old also netted a career-high 11 touchdowns last season.

For the New York Giants, the future of tight end is uncertain but promising. The 25-year-old Sterling Liverpool, who has taken over the TE1 spot from Avery Johnson, is expected to benefit from John Harbaugh's coaching influence after joining the Giants from Baltimore. Liverpool has amassed 135 receptions, 1,568 yards, and 15 touchdowns throughout his career.

Meanwhile, the Giants' backup TE, Dallas Johnson, showed flashes of brilliance last season with 45 catches, 528 yards, and five touchdowns. The Giants have bolstered their tight end roster with the addition of tight end Gilbert Okonkwo from the Tennessee Titans. Okonkwo had thrived over three consecutive seasons with 50-catch averages, totaling 560 yards in 2023.

However, tight end Dan Sinnott hasn't significantly impacted the New York pass game so far, tallying only 16 catches, 142 yards, and two touchdowns over two seasons.
