"I'm the best blocking tight end out there.", says the free agent

NFL veteran Marcedes Lewis, who tied the record for most seasons by a tight end with his 17th year in 2022 may still be a free agent, but is not ready to hang up the cleats just yet.

“I get the business side of it,” Lewis said, “My agent is in talks with a handful of teams, but it’s just small talk. I guess teams are trying to figure out their rosters and what they need. But if you just look at my film from the last three years, there’s no decline in what I’m able to do. I’m the best blocking tight end out there.”

Lewis debuted in 2006 with the Jaguars as a first-round pick out of UCLA, and in his dozen years with the team he racked up 4,502 yards and a Pro Bowl nod in 2010, when he matched the then-franchise record for TDs in a season (10).

If he signs for a team before the start of the new season, he will hold the record for most consecutive seasons in NFL with 18. One of the main candidates for his signature is the Chicago Bears.
