  • Lucas Krull TE | DEN

    Broncos' Lucas Krull: Tendered by Denver

    Krull was tendered a contract by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Krull entered the offseason as an exclusive-rights free agent and he will now stick around in Denver for a third season, earning $1.03 million. The tight end caught 19 of 23 targets for 152 yards over 13 regular-season games in 2024, and he'll look to carve out a greater role for himself next season.

  • Armani Rogers TE | BUF

    Bills' Armani Rogers: Tears Achilles

    Rogers tore his Achilles tendon while training Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The 27-year-old inked a reserve/future contract with the Bills in January, but it now appears he won't have the opportunity to compete for a roster spot in 2025. Rogers' only in-game NFL experience came in 2022 with the Commanders, when he appeared in 11 regular-season games and caught five of his six targets for 64 yards. With Rogers out for the foreseeable future, the Bills' tight end room currently consists of Dawson Knox, Dalton Kincaid and Zach Davidson.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Remaining in L.A. for 2025

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Higbee will remain with Los Angeles for the 2025 season, the final year of his contract, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    McVay said the same of veteran offensive tackle Rob Havenstein, calling the Rams offense "different" when both veterans are healthy and on the field. Higbee missed all but three of Los Angeles' regular-season games in 2024 while working his way back from offseason knee and shoulder surgeries, most notably recovering from an ACL tear sustained during the 2023 playoffs, but the 32-year-old tight end managed to impress once he was back in action. In two postseason games against the Vikings and Eagles, he secured 12 of 15 targets for 112 yards and a score. With Matthew Stafford's return and Cooper Kupp still looking unlikely to be retained for 2025, Higbee could be facing increased opportunities on offense behind star wideout Puka Nacua.

  • Quintin Morris TE | JAC

    Bills' Quintin Morris: Won't be tendered

    The Bills will not place a tender on Morris, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Morris was eligible to be tendered by Buffalo as a restricted free agent, but he's now slated to become an unrestricted free agent. Rapoport adds that the Bills would still like to re-sign him on a new deal. The 6-foot-2 tight end collected 15 passes for 146 yards and mostly played on special teams over the last three seasons.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Available for trade

    The Raiders are shopping Mayer on the trade market, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Following a decorated college career at Notre Dame, Mayer was selected No. 35 overall in the 2023 Draft by Las Vegas. He caught 27 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie, but the Raiders then used their first-rounder on Brock Bowers in 2024. Mayer appeared in just 11 games last season, and his playing time took a hit when he was available. He finished the season with 21 catches for 156 scoreless yards, and the Raiders appear to be willing to move him after just two years.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Confirms return for 13th season

    Kelce confirmed via social media that he will play in 2025.

    Kelce had stated after the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles that he hadn't yet decided whether he'd continue his playing career for a 13th pro season, but Chiefs GM Brett Veach said at the NFL Scouting Combine this week that he expected the veteran tight end to return for another year. Kelce has now confirmed it and will formally announce it on his New Heights podcast this week. Kelce will turn 36 years old in October and is certainly slowing down at this stage of his career, but he's ready to give it another run with Kansas City. It will be interesting to see what his role looks like in 2025, especially with Rashee Rice (knee) due back to full health as the Chiefs' power slot receiver and the anticipated leap of Xavier Worthy in his second season following a big stretch run and postseason. Kelce's days as an elite fantasy tight end are likely over.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Leaning toward return

    Kansas City general manager Brett Veach said Tuesday that Kelce is "fired up" about playing in 2025, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. "We left it as, he'd be back and we're excited to get him back and get him going," Veach said at the NFL Combine.

    However, head coach Andy Reid suggested Tuesday that things might be more up in the air, per Nate Taylor of The Athletic, saying he advised Kelce to "get out of town and relax" before making a decision about his playing future. The 35-year-old tight end is heading into the final year of his contract, and he carries a $19.8 million cap hit for the 2025 season. Despite declining production in his 12th NFL season, Kelce's 97-823-3 receiving line across 16 regular-season appearances still made him one of the league's most productive tight ends in 2024.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Has support of GM

    Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said Tuesday that he loves having Andrews on the team, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. "We'll figure out all the roster machinations in the coming weeks," DeCosta said. "But nobody is a bigger Mark Andrews fan than me."

    DeCosta also said Andrews eventually will be in the franchise's Ring of Honor, alongside the likes of Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. The GM stopped short of promising that Andrews will be with the team in 2025 -- something that came into question after his lost fumble and dropped two-point conversion in a playoff loss to the Bills. Andrews has one year remaining on his contract, with $11 million in non-guaranteed compensation consisting of a $4 million roster bonus (due on the fifth day of the league year) and a $7 million base salary. That's a bargain for the Ravens given Andrews' track record, but there are other factors to consider, namely his reduced playing time in 2024 (61.4 percent snap share), his age (30 in September), his playoff struggles (zero TD, 315 yards in eight games) and the presence of Isaiah Likely (42-477-6 receiving line in 2024) on the roster. The timing of Andrews' bonus in mid-March means it probably won't be long before it becomes clear if he's staying in Baltimore.

  • Steelers' Donald Parham: Signs with Pittsburgh

    Parham signed a one-year contract with the Steelers on Friday.

    Parham went undrafted in 2019 but caught on with the Chargers a year later and ended up starting 23 of his 47 regular-season games from 2020 to 2023. He's the tallest tight end in the league, but perhaps also the thinnest, listed at 6-foot-8, 237 pounds. The Chargers put him to use near the goal line, with Parham recording 11 TDs among his 67 career receptions. He was released in August and then spent part of the season on Denver's practice squad, never appearing in a game. Parham will turn 28 shortly before the start of the 2025 campaign and has his work cut out for him to earn a roster spot.

  • Gerald Everett TE | CHI

    Gerald Everett: Will be released

    The Bears recently informed Everett that he will be released, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Signed to a two-year, $12 million contract last offseason, Everett opened the 2024 campaign in a timeshare with Cole Kmet but didn't keep the role for long. Kmet was back in his familiar role as a near-every-down player by the end of September, leaving Everett as the No. 2 tight end in an offense dominated by three-wide sets. Everett finished the season with eight catches for 36 yards on 13 targets, ending his five-year streak of seasons with more than 400 receiving yards. He'll turn 31 in June and figures to settle for a smaller contract this offseason.
