  • Browns' Blake Whiteheart: Signs tender with Browns

    Whiteheart signed his tender with the Browns on Monday.

    Whiteheart will return to Cleveland on a one-year contract in 2025. He entered the offseason as an exclusive rights free agent before the Browns tendered him March 4. Whiteheart is expected to provide depth behind David Njoku in 2025 after the former registered six catches for 51 yards and one touchdown on nine targets across 11 appearances in 2024.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Lands four-year extension

    McBride agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Cardinals on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    McBride thus is under contract with Arizona through the 2029 season. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the 25 year-old's $76 million deal includes $43 million guaranteed and an average annual value of $19 million, the highest ever for any NFL tight end. This past season, the 2022 second-rounder caught a career-high 111 passes (on 147 targets) for 1,146 yards and two TDs in 16 regular-season contests, a level of production that makes him an elite fantasy option at his position ahead of the upcoming NFL campaign.

  • Falcons' Teagan Quitoriano: Signs with Atlanta

    The Falcons are signing Quitoriano (calf) on Friday after hosting him for a workout, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Quitoriano was limited to seven-regular season appearances with Houston in 2024 before sustaining a calf injury. He didn't record any receptions in that span. Now having proved his healthy via a workout with Atlanta, Quitoriano will spend the offseason competing to secure another reserve gig.

  • Ian Thomas TE | LV

    Raiders' Ian Thomas: Lands in Las Vegas

    The Raiders signed Thomas (calf) to a contract Tuesday.

    Thomas spent the first seven seasons of his NFL career in Carolina, and he now bolsters a Raiders tight end corps led by 2024 rookie phenom Brock Bowers and trade candidate Michael Mayer. Thomas is capable of contributing in a depth role as both a blocker and pass catcher, so his presence could make it easier for the team to move on from Mayer. He appeared in five games (two starts) with the Panthers in 2024 before landing on IR with a calf injury, but Thomas figures to be ready to go for the start of offseason activities.

  • Travis Vokolek TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Travis Vokolek: Signs tender

    Vokolek signed his tender with the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    The one-year contract offer was the only one available to the tight end since he was an exclusive rights free agent. Vokolek appeared in one game and on four offensive snaps last season with the Cardinals, and he has yet to record a catch across three NFL appearances over the last two seasons. The Nebraska product likely will have to compete for a role as a depth tight end and special teamer in 2025.

  • Eric Saubert TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Eric Saubert: Joining Seattle

    Saubert signed with the Seahawks on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    With the signing, the tight end joins his eighth team as he heads into his ninth NFL campaign. Saubert spent 2024 with the 49ers, playing in all 17 regular-season games and catching 11 passes for 97 yards and a score. The veteran has played more on special teams than offense in five of his eight NFL seasons, and he should begin his time with Seattle behind at least Noah Fant and AJ Barner on the depth chart.

  • Tyler Conklin TE | LAC

    Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Lands with Bolts

    Conklin agreed to terms Friday on a one-year contract with the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Conklin joins Will Dissly atop Los Angeles' tight-end depth chart, after both players logged similarly productive 2024 campaigns. Dissly (50-481-2) suited up for 15 regular-season games with the Chargers last year, while Conklin (51-449-4) played all 17 regular-season contests with the Jets. Both tight ends boast enough versatility to contribute as solid blockers and pass catchers. That overlap could cause their individual production to decline from a fantasy perspective, but it's a plus for Justin Herbert and offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

  • Shane Zylstra TE | DET

    Lions' Shane Zylstra: Staying in Motor City

    Detroit will re-sign Zylstra for the 2025 season, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    The Lions added Zylstra to the active roster from their practice squad in November of 2024, and over 13 games including the playoffs, he caught his only target for 22 yards. He also contributed on special teams, logging more snaps in that phase than on offense for the first time in his career. Barring injuries, his role on Detroit's offense is likely to be minor in 2025.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Staying in Charm City

    Andrews' $4 million roster bonus for the 2025 season triggered Sunday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    The roster bonus was due on the fifth day of the new league year, and the Ravens have made the expected move to keep him around in Baltimore for an eighth season to begin his career. The veteran tight end had a rough end to this past campaign during the team's 27-25 divisional-round loss at Buffalo, but he recorded a career-best 11 touchdowns in the 2024 regular season among his 55 receptions. Andrews, who turns 30 in September, will remain one of the key targets for QB Lamar Jackson for at least one more year.

  • Kenny Yeboah TE | DET

    Lions' Kenny Yeboah: Moving to NFC

    The Lions signed Yeboah to a one-year contract Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Yeboah played his first four NFL campaigns with the Jets, with most of his work during that span coming on special teams. He did log a career-high five catches and 47 receiving yards last season while nabbing his first NFL touchdown Week 11 against Indianapolis. The Lions have Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright leading their tight-end corps, so Yeboah's role will likely center around blocking and special teams.
