The other tight ends on the team last season are (were) Justin Perillo and Ryan Taylor. Perillo was active only a few times and Taylor was released early in the season – he’s now with Joe Philbin down in Miami.
Both had limited production this season from being behind Rodgers and Quarless on the depth chart.
They combined for just 21 offensive snaps.
Perillo will have a difficult time making the roster again in 2015, especially if the Packers dip into the draft or free agency to bring in other players at the position.
Next: What about the Draft?
