Adam Trautman TE | DEN
Broncos' Adam Trautman: Has quiet season
Trautman finished 2024 with 13 receptions (on 22 targets) for 188 yards and two touchdowns in 17 regular-season games.
Trautman's 13 grabs this season marked a career low for the Dayton product, while his 22 targets, 188 yards and two touchdowns were his lowest totals since arriving in Denver. Despite being the Broncos' No. 1 tight end, the 27-year-old spent most of the season in a timeshare with Lucas Krull and Nate Adkins. Trautman will enter 2025 in the second year of the two-year contract he signed last March before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2026. The 6-foot-5, 253-pounder likely will continue to play a similar role in head coach Sean Payton's system next season, severely limiting his fantasy potential once again.

Tanner Conner TE | MIA
Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Limited to eight games in 2024
Conner (knee), who ended the 2024 campaign on IR, secured three of four targets for 16 yards across eight regular-season appearances with the Dolphins.
Conner landed on IR due to an undisclosed left knee injury in mid-November. The 26-year-old tight end remains under contract with Miami for the 2025 campaign, so it will be notable to monitor whether he's healthy enough to participate at the start of offseason activities.

Jack Stoll TE | NO
Dolphins' Jack Stoll: Headed for free agency
Stoll was not targeted across four regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2024. He also appeared in seven regular-season games with the Eagles, securing two of three targets for 10 yards.
Stoll concluded the 2024 campaign on Miami's roster after having been claimed off waivers from Philadelphia. Back in 2023, he put up five catches for 38 yards (on eight targets) across 17 regular-season appearances with the Eagles. The 27-year-old tight end will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Peyton Hendershot TE | KC
Chiefs' Peyton Hendershot: Five catches in 2024
Hendershot caught five passes on as many targets for 51 yards across seven regular-season games in 2024.
Hendershot was traded by the Cowboys to the Chiefs in late August. He signed with Kansas City's practice squad in mid-September after being waived from the 53-man roster, but Hendershot was brought back to the active roster in early November after Jared Wiley tore his ACL during practice. Hendershot was on injured reserve between Weeks 13 and 17 due to a calf injury, but he was activated from IR in late December and was part of the Chiefs' roster during their playoff run to Super Bowl LIX. Hendershot enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and will look to join a team that can give him a more prominent role on offense.

Josiah Deguara TE | ARI
Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Three receptions in 2024
Deguara (shoulder) registered three catches on as many targets for 14 yards across 15 regular-season games in 2024.
Deguara signed a one-year, $1.29 million contract with the Jaguars in March 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Packers. He failed to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but after opting to stay on the practice squad he eventually was signed to Jacksonville's active roster in late September. Deguara mostly was used on special teams, though he did see a slight uptick in offensive snaps when Evan Engram (shoulder) was sidelined due to injury late in the season. Deguara will explore his options during the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Teagan Quitoriano TE | ATL
Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Plays seven games in 2024
Quitoriano (calf) appeared in seven regular-season games in 2024 but did not otherwise show up on the box score.
Quitoriano has been plagued by injury the last two seasons. He ended the 2023 campaign on IR due to a groin issue, and when he returned fully healthy for training camp, he strained his calf during the Texans' Hall of Fame Game against the Bears on Aug. 1. The Texans and Quitoriano came to an injury settlement agreement in early September, but he was brought back to Houston after being signed off Chicago's practice squad in early October. He operated as a depth tight end behind Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover, but Quitoriano suffered a knee injury in late November that ultimately caused him to be sidelined for the rest of the 2024 season. As a restricted free agent, the Texans can place a tender on Quitoriano that would allow Houston to match an offer sheet from another team.

Geoff Swaim TE | CLE
Browns' Geoff Swaim: Gets fewer opportunities in 2024
Swaim (concussion) registered one catch on one target for seven yards over eight regular-season games in 2024.
Swaim first joined Cleveland as part of the team's practice squad in September before getting signed to the active roster in October. The veteran tight end didn't get much in the way of looks on offense, as he logged his fewest offensive snaps, receptions and yards since 2015. Swaim ended the season on IR due to a concussion that he suffered in Week 11. He'll be a free agent upon the beginning of the new league year in March.

Quintin Morris TE | JAC
Bills' Quintin Morris: Nabs five catches in 2024
Morris finished the 2024 regular season with five catches on eight targets for 36 yards and a touchdown over 16 games.
For the third straight season to begin his career, Morris saw more work on special teams than on offense, though he did log over one-third of Buffalo's offensive snaps in four of the team's final eight regular-season contests. His role diminished again in the playoffs, however, as Morris recorded just 12 offensive snaps without any targets over three games. Morris is now slated to be a restricted free agent, and if he's back with the Bills, he'll likely continue to have a minor role on offense given that both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are in line to head the team's tight end corps again in 2025.

Charlie Kolar TE | BAL
Ravens' Charlie Kolar: Gets more opportunities in 2024
Kolar (arm) tallied nine catches on 11 targets for 131 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for two yards over 13 regular-season games in 2024.
Though he played in two fewer games than the year prior, Kolar logged 14 more offensive snaps and set career-high marks in catches and receiving yards. He was also a core special-teamer for Baltimore. Kolar spent four weeks on injured reserve due to a broken forearm and suffered another arm injury during the Ravens' divisional-round loss to Buffalo, though there's no indication that the latter injury will impact his availability for the start of next season. Kolar should be back with Baltimore in 2025 for the final season of his rookie contract, but it's hard to see his role growing significantly with both Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely slated to return as well.

Nick Muse TE | LAR
Eagles' Nick Muse: Signs future contract with Philly
The Eagles signed Muse to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Muse played in four regular-season games for the Vikings in 2024 before being let go in early January. He joined the Eagles' practice squad for their playoff run but wasn't elevated to the active roster for a single game. Muse will be on Philadelphia's 90-man roster when the new league year begins March 12, which gives him the ability to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp.
