Trade No. 1

The Bears brought in veteran tight end Jimmy Graham on a fairly pricy contract this spring, which means he will absolutely be their starting tight end. But, how much left does he have in the tank? If they wanted to add another tight end, the Seattle Seahawks have a multitude.

The Seahawks went out and signed veteran Greg Olsen this offseason

Will Dissly has become a fan favorite over the last couple of seasons, and the Seahawks began to use him in a variety of ways before he suffered a season-ending injury in 2019. He should absolutely be a big part of the offense once more in 2020, even with Olsen in the fold.

Seattle drafted Colby Parkinson in the fourth round of this year’s draft as well, and the 6-foot-7 mammoth is obviously in the future plans of the team with that kind of draft capital spent.

Jacob Hollister would take the roster spot of a guy like J.P. Holtz or maybe even Jesper Horsted. He would come in and be at least the no. 3 tight end right away, if not pushing for the backup spot while Cole Kmet develops.

Last year, Hollister played quite a bit due to injuries ahead of him and caught 41 passes on 59 targets in 11 games, for a total of 349 yards and three scores. He’s still just 26 years old and could provide instant depth for the Bears.
