The Bolts have several tight ends on the roster, led by veteran Virgil Green who signed as a free agent from Denver in March. The team also boasts a pair of young second-year players they are high on in Sean Culkin and Braedon Bowman, as well as undrafted free agents Cole Hunt and Ben Johnson.

In light of the Henry injury, what I'd like to see the Chargers do is trade for rookie Ian Thomas, who has been called a "Gates clone" and is buried on the depth chart behind Greg Olsen in Carolina.
Then, bring back Gates at the vet minimum, primarily in an advisory role / on-the-field coach / red zone threat (which he still can be) and have him teach Thomas all of his secrets this year. Antonio would also get to have a "farewell tour" year with us this way.
Next year, when HH returns, we have him and Thomas, a.k.a. "Gates 2.0", as a 1-2 punch at TE.
Wishful thinking, I'm sure. But it would be cool if it actually came to pass.

Yeah, I know. That's why I said it was wishful thinking. Oh, well. Just bummed that we have to be thinking about things like this in the first place.
