When news broke out that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers acquired Super Bowl winner tight end Rob Gronkowski for the incoming NFL season, it left a grey area as to what would happen to Tampa’s pool of tight ends. The lens was shifted to O.J. Howard, one of the Buc’s rising players, and where this big leap will take him.
Howard was drafted by the Buccaneers last 2017, but now that Gronkowski’s arrival just filled a massive gap, the Alabama standout has the opportunity to jump ship and play with any team going forward. Let’s dive into some of O.J Howard’s best landing spots for the coming regular NFL season.
O.J Howard Potential Trade Destinations
Washington Redskins
Some of the most fantastic quarterback moments can be owed to tight ends. If you’re aware of the Brady-Gronkowski power duo business in the past, then you can definitely attest to that. The Redskins have yet to find a great match like that, and the team needs it now more than ever with Dwayne Haskins going for his second season. All odds point to O.J. Howard, who would be giving the Redskins a major upgrade with his transfer.
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers may well be one of Howard’s trade destinations just by looking at the roster. The Packers found one of the best quarterback potentials in Aaron Rodgers, and all they need now is one great tight end to make their ends meet. They have Jace Sternberger and Marcedes Lewis, but an addition to that could kick the team’s chances up a notch.
Cincinnati Bengals
After winning two games last year and getting first pick for the 2020 draft, the Bengals will most likely use that to get LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. That’s already a tight upgrade, especially when it’s complemented by receiver excellence delivered by AJ Green, Tyler Boyd and John Ross. Adding Howard into the mix seems like the best thing to do at this point.
Indianapolis Colts
Completing the list of O.J Howard best landing spots would have to be the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts maintained a great stance over the past few seasons for brewing an outstanding two-tight end set in Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle. However, the Colts lost Ebron to the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency, leaving Doyle single-handed. For a tight end with sheer potential, O.J Howard looks like the best missing piece.
