The Giants signed Hall as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Hall finished his final campaign at Oklahoma with 32 receptions for 334 yards and four touchdowns. The Giants revamped their tight-end corps this offseason, signing Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins in free agency and drafting Daniel Bellinger in the fourth round. Hall is expected to compete with fellow UDFA Austin Allen this offseason, but both players are likely long shots to make the initial 53-man roster.

The Saints signed Krull as an undrafted free agent Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Krull finished his final campaign at Pittsburgh with 38 receptions for 451 yards and six touchdowns. The Saints are returning their top four tight ends from a year ago and signed J.P. Holtz this offseason, so Krull likely will be a long shot to make the roster.

Sokol was claimed off waivers by the Patriots on Wednesday, Chris Mason of MassLive.com reports.

Sokol signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions in January, but he ultimately was cut last Tuesday. The 26-year-old last played in the NFL with the Chargers in 2020, appearing in two games. He'll likely compete with the duo of 2020 third-round selections Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene for a roster spot.

Fotheringham has signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.

Fotheringham recorded 15 receptions for 128 yards over eight games in his final season with Utah in 2021. The rookie tight end was the only player at his position signed in Las Vegas' class of undrafted free agents. He'll join a position group that currently features four veteran players, including Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Jacob Hollister and Nick Bowers. Fotheringham likely will need to carve out a niche for himself as a blocking tight end this offseason.

Wolf (undisclosed) was waived with an injury designation Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Wolf appeared in two games for the Saints last season, making two catches on two targets for eight yards before signing a reserve/future contract with them in January.

Horsted (undisclosed) was waived from the reserve/PUP list with an injury settlement Friday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Horsted was waived Wednesday after a failed physical, then reverted to the PUP list after going unclaimed. Over the past three years, he's appeared in a total of 13 games for the Bears, catching 10 of 13 targets for 108 years and three touchdowns. He'll now look to get healthy and earn another shot within the NFL.

Horsted (undisclosed) reverted to the reserve/PUP list Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Horsted was waived with a failed physical designation Wednesday, but he'll remain with the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The nature of his injury still isn't clear.

The Bears waived Horsted (undisclosed) with a failed physical designation Wednesday.

Horsted appeared in seven games for Chicago last season and caught two of three targets for 21 yards and two touchdowns. The Bears tendered him a contract for 2022 but have now opted to part ways with him.

Otton (ankle) won't participate in on-field work at rookie minicamp, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

The fourth-round pick out of Washington received medical clearance in April following season-ending surgery, but the Buccaneers will play it safe and keep him off the practice field for now. Otton currently falls somewhere behind Cameron Brate on the depth chart, and both players would move down a spot if Rob Gronkowski decides to return to Tampa Bay for another season.

Sokol was waived by the Lions on Tuesday.

Sokol had signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions in January, after spending 2021 on the Jaguars' and Chargers' practice squads. The former Michigan State product last saw game action in two games in 2020 for the Chargers but never tallied a target.
