2016 Chargers positional outlook: Tight End - Travis Wakeman
One of the best tight ends in NFL history, Antonio Gates will return for his fourteenth season with the franchise. Though his numbers were down last year due to a league-mandated suspension, Gates still caught five touchdown passes.

As a result of well-timed circumstances, the Bolts have their top target ready to reside atop Rivers’ pass-catching hierarchy while Antonio Gates’s career finally winds down. Both sides did well for themselves. They can thank receiver-extension party-crasher Allen Hurns and his $10 million-per-year Jaguars deal, signed last week, for making this a smooth process.
