The Denver Broncos signed tight end Chris Manhertz to a two-year, $6 million contract earlier this week, adding him to a TE room that includes Greg Dulcich and Albert Okwuegbunam.
Unlike Dulchich and “Albert O,” Manhert’s primary contributions will not come as a receiver. Manhertz has just 24 receptions for 255 yards and two touchdowns through seven seasons (104 games) in the NFL, but he was a priority for the Broncos in free agency thanks to his blocking ability.
Tip of the Spear Football has dubbed him the No. 1 blocking tight end in football, both in run blocking and pass protection.
