Green Bay Packers and tight ends do not mix together very well in the last 10 years. They became something that fans loved but they never saw any real production on the field. Green Bay became this graveyard for tight end production. Jermichael Finley is probably the best example of someone who thrived in the role, but others have not had the same fortune including current tight ends, Jimmy Graham and former Packers tight end Martellus Bennett. Green Bay seems hellbent on finding the right tight ends for Matt LaFleur’s tight end-heavy system. Packera signed another one to the mix yesterday picking up Michael Roberts from Detroit off waivers.

Packers are looking for the right fits at tight end. My guess is that the Packers will try to keep four tight ends, maybe add one to the practice squad and not use a fullback yet we shall see what transpires for LaFleur to make that choice in August. Roberts has an exciting frame and the athletic ability to be somebody. The problem with him is that he’s a bit of a shithead. Roberts missed the last game of the year because he overslept team meetings, and partly why they think he did not complete the trade with New England was due to a failed physical. The competition will be heavy for Roberts to get a final tight end spot.
