The Green Bay Packers have moved on from a number of veterans of the recent years. The moves have ushered in a new, younger era in Green Bay. To further cement that new era, the Packers moved on from two fan favorites in David Bakhtiari (32) and Aaron Jones (29) this off-season.
However, one free agent released last off-season is still looking for a new team as the 2024 off-season enters wave two of free agency.
Former Green Bay Packers Tight End Remains A Free Agent In 2024
Freddie Boston of FanSided highlighted a few former Packers who are still free agents. Tight end Robert Tonyan among them:
Fun fact: Robert Tonyan had more receiving yards (149) in nine career games against the Bears than in 17 games playing for the Bears (112). Tonyan signed a one-year deal with the Bears last offseason, but he posted his worst numbers in five years.
Chicago signed veteran Gerald Everett to pair with Cole Kmet, a sign they don’t intend to bring back Tonyan this offseason.
What Is Next For Robert Tonyan?
Tonyan played six seasons for the Packers and Bears. In his career, he has 148 catches for 1,549 yards and 17 touchdowns.
His best season was by far in 2020 when he recorded 52 receptions, 586 yards, and 11 touchdowns. However, an ACL tear in 2021 derailed his career and he hasn’t seemed to get his swagger back.
The 29-year-old tight end will likely be looking for a roster spot by way of special teams if not the backup tight end spot.
