Sam LaPorta was undoubtedly phenomenal as a rookie, but, eventually, he could only do only so much.

That was the reasoning behind the Lions' signing of veteran Zach Ertz: to provide depth at tight end after injuries, but he never played a game. Now, with 2024 looming, nearly all LaPorta's five backups will become unsigned, but Brock Wright would be the biggest blow if he leaves.

He has shown the most upside, having started 10 games in 2022 and amassed 216 yards and four touchdowns on 18 catches. Wright is the best backup the team could have in the long term.
