The Eagles are hoping to turn around last season’s offensive disasters with a brain trust led by new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, and it would appear that you can expect multi-tight end personnel packages as a major part of that lift.

Philly selected Vanderbilt tight end/big receiver Eli Stowers in the second round, and they already have Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra, so you can expect the Eagles to align with this current schematic wave.

Last season, the 6’4”, 246-pound Wright caught 39 passes on 55 targets for 635 yards and five touchdowns, and he was getting it done to all areas of the field.

Moreover, Wright is a good enough inline blocker to add to his potential with his new team, as not all Eagles tight ends are great blockers (yes, this is a Grant Calcaterra reference). 2026 NFL Draft’s best UDFA fits: 1 undrafted free agent to watch on each roster – The Athletic Philadelphia Eagles: Deontae Lawson, LB, Alabama.

Heck, Blankenship got one of the smallest sums of guaranteed money in his rookie class.
