  • Patrick Murtagh: Waived by Jacksonville

    Murtagh was waived by the Jaguars on Thursday.

    The tight end appears to be healthy again since he was let go with no injury designation. Murtagh signed with the Jags in April 2024 through the NFL's International Player Pathway Program and then broke his ankle during a training camp goal-line drill. The former track athlete and Australian rules football player will now have to look elsewhere for his next NFL opportunity.

  • Quintin Morris TE | BUF

    Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Signs with Jacksonville

    Morris signed a one-year deal with the Jaguars on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

    Morris is headed to Jacksonville after hauling in five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in 16 regular-season games for the Bills last season. The 26-year-old can add value as both a blocker and on special teams.

  • Caden Prieskorn: Let go by Detroit

    Prieskorn was waived by the Lions on Monday.

    The tight end initially signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent after the draft, but he was cut to make room for Luke Deal after the team's rookie minicamp over the weekend, per Jeff Risdon of USA Today. Prieskorn caught 57 passes for 850 yards and seven touchdowns in 23 games at Ole Miss, but he projects more as a run blocker in the pros due to his physicality and lack of speed.

  • Broncos' Cole Fotheringham: Heading to Denver

    Fotheringham signed with the Broncos on Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    The tight end spent time on the Raiders' and Texans' practice squads in 2024, but he did not get elevated for any regular-season games. His only NFL experience to date came in 2023 with the Raiders, when he appeared in two games and caught one pass for six yards. Fotheringham faces a crowded field of players competing for roster spots in Denver's tight end group, including free-agent signing Evan Engram, 2024 contributors Adam Trautman, Lucas Krull and Nate Adkins, and 2025 seventh-round pick Caleb Lohner.

  • Thomas Yassmin TE | DEN

    Thomas Yassmin: Waived by Denver

    Yassmin was waived by the Broncos on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    The tight end from Sydney, Australia signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent May 11 of last year, hung on with the team through 2024 as a member of its practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract in January. Now, he'll have to look elsewhere for his next opportunity. In 2023, his final collegiate season at Utah, Yassmin caught eight passes for 89 yards and a touchdown across five games.

  • Bears' Colston Loveland: Not ready for rookie minicamp

    Loveland (shoulder) is not participating in on-field work at rookie minicamp Friday as he continues to rehab from surgery undergone in January, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Loveland, the 10th overall pick of April's draft, is present at rookie minicamp and building familiarity with Chicago's offensive scheme and new quarterback Caleb Williams (wrist), but the tight end's workout availability is currently limited to running and controlled lifting, per Bair. The rookie first-rounder is expected to be ready for increased participation in mandatory minicamp in early June and to be fully cleared for training camp in July. Loveland is a capable blocker at 6-foot-6, 260-pounds, but he figures to make his largest impact as a mismatch in the receiving game, though DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and rookie second-round pick Luther Burden represent plenty of competition for targets. Cole Kmet played 87 percent of snaps last season and has two years remaining on the four-year, $50 million deal he inked with Chicago in 2023, but Loveland boasts the draft capital and skillset to push for the No. 1 role before long.

  • Colin Granger TE | CAR

    Colin Granger: Waived with injury settlement

    Carolina waived Granger (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Thursday.

    If he clears waivers, Granger will be a free agent and can look for an opportunity elsewhere. Granger is a former college basketball player who has never played a down of football. He's merely a developmental project.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Agrees to reworked contract

    Goedert and the Eagles are in agreement on a reworked contract that will keep him with the team for 2025, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Offseason trade rumors never materialized, keeping the 30-year-old with the only NFL team he's known. Goedert averaged between 3.7 and 4.6 catches per game each of the past six regular seasons, reliably putting up solid efficiency stats on 5-to-6 targets per game, with the biggest difference from year to year being his number of absences. He's missed multiple games in five straight seasons, including a career-high seven last year before bouncing back in the playoffs with a 17-215-1 receiving line in four games. Goedert should continue to provide low-end TE1 fantasy production when healthy, serving as Philadelphia's No. 3 receiving option behind WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

  • Josiah Deguara TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Josiah Deguara: Joins Arizona

    Deguara signed with the Cardinals on Monday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

    A 2020 third-round pick of the Packers who spent 2024 with the Jaguars, Deguara has 50 career catches for 450 yards and two touchdowns, including three catches for 14 yards a year ago. He has played on over 800 special-teams snaps over the course of his career, and he could earn a role that way on the Cardinals. Arizona's tight end room is led by Trey McBride, who caught 111 passes for 1,146 yards in 2024, and then Tip Reiman and Elijah Higgins.

  • Robbie Ouzts RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Robbie Ouzts: Being converted to fullback

    The Seahawks are planning to convert Ouzts, whom they selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, from tight end to fullback, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Ouzts played a versatile role during his four years in college at Alabama, and as a tight end he worked primarily as a blocker. That should help the rookie with his conversion to a fullback in the NFL, and Henderson notes that the decision is part of a plan by new OC Klint Kubiak to deploy a more physical run game. Ouzts will likely compete for reps in fullback packages with Brady Russell, who is also making a change from tight end to fullback for the coming campaign.
