  Giants | Rhett Ellison considering retirement    Thu Feb 27, 05:00 PM

New York Giants TE Rhett Ellison (concussion) is contemplating retirement following a season-ending concussion, according to multiple NFL sources.

Footballguys view: Ellison is also a possible cap cut for the Giants, so either way expect Kaden Smith to be the team's #2 tight end next year.

  Giants | Rhett Ellison could be on the move    Sun Feb 9, 05:40 PM

New York Giants TE Rhett Ellison has a $7.2 million cap number for the 2020 season, 12th among NFL tight ends. Beat writer Jordan Raanan projects Ellison, who is a solid blocker, as either an option to negotiate a pay cut or end up a cap casualty.

Footballguys view: We'll see if Ellison would be open to a pay cut or if he wants to hit the open market. He is a reserve player behind Evan Engram and isn't asked to do that much on offense outside of block.

  Giants | Rhett Ellison could move up to No. 1    Wed Oct 23, 10:38 PM

New York Giants TE Rhett Ellison could move up to the top spot on the depth chart if the team elects to move TE Evan Engram at the NFL trade deadline. Ellison is reportedly a favorite of head coach Pat Shurmur, and the team could deal Engram and use Ellison in a limited pass-catching role where he's been effective at times.

New York Giants TE Rhett Ellison performed well when working with the starting unit during minicamp, according to Matt Lombardo of NJ.com.

Footballguys view: Ellison was on the field 40-50% of the time last year and that doesn't appear to be changing this year. He's part of the reason the number three wide receiver for the Giants is unlikely to matter in fantasy leagues.
