The Broncos re-signed Krull (foot) to a one-year contract Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Krull is re-upping with the Broncos via a one-year, $1.15 million deal, per Mike Klis of 9News Denver. The depth tight end was able to suit up for only the first three regular-season games of the 2025 campaign with Denver due to a foot injury, but he appeared to be nearing a return down the stretch of the team's playoff run and should be ready to participate in spring activities.

Whiteheart was not tendered by the Browns, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Whiteheart was a restricted free agent but will now enter the pool of unrestricted players able to be signed by any organization. The tight end played in all 17 regular-season games for the Browns in 2025, primarily playing a blocking role for both the offense and special-teams unit. The 25-year-old can be a strong No. 3 tight end for any team looking to build up its offensive trenches.

Tonges (foot) is signing a two-year, $8 million contract to stay with the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Tonges was scheduled for restricted free agency and presumably would've gotten some kind of tender if the two sides hadn't worked out this deal. He suffered a plantar fascia injury during the playoff loss at Seattle in January, but it's thought to be less serious than the Achilles tear that George Kittle suffered a week earlier. Tonges thus stands a chance to start Week 1.

The Ravens and Smythe have agreed to terms on a contract, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Smythe had a substantial role for the 2025 Bears as a blocking tight end for both the offense and special-teams unit. He'll now bring that skill set to Baltimore, likely as a replacement for Charlie Kolar, whom the Ravens lost to the Chargers in free agency. The 30-year-old Smythe caught just four passes in 17 games during the 2025 regular season, a number that may increase now that he is paired up with Lamar Jackson in a new Ravens offense.

Okonkwo has agreed to terms on a three-year contract with Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Okonkwo is moving on from Tennessee after four seasons to become the new top pass-catching TE for quarterback Jayden Daniels, joining a positional room that also includes Ben Sinnott and John Bates (who combined for 22 catches in 2025). Now entering his age-27 season, Okonkwo has tallied over 400 receiving yards in four consecutive years and brings a respectable production floor to the Commanders. For fantasy purposes, Okonkwo will be a sleeper breakout candidate at the tight end position in the event that Daniels is the quarterback able to unlock the untapped potential promised by Okonkwo's YAC abilities and speed (4.52 40).

Stoll (knee) agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract with the Browns, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Stoll, who appears back to full health after ending the 2025 season on IR due to a knee issue, will provide depth behind breakout rookie tight end Harold Fannin (groin) for Cleveland. Across 15 regular-season appearances with the Saints last year, Stoll secured six of 11 targets for 46 yards and one touchdown.

Mitchell has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Carolina, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Mitchell will continue to provide depth in a tight end room that also houses Ja'Tavion Sanders (lower leg), Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans. Across five regular-season games in 2025, Mitchell secured all three of his targets for 28 yards.

The Eagles are expected to re-sign Calcaterra to a one-year deal, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Calcaterra is expected to return to Philadelphia for the 2026 campaign, where he has spent the entirety of his four-year career. The 27-year-old caught nine passes for 76 yards and one touchdown last season and should remain one of the team's top backup tight ends for the upcoming campaign.

Mundt agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the Eagles, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Mundt quickly found a new home after being released by the Jaguars on Monday. The 31-year-old tight end played 385 offensive snaps last season but mostly stuck to a run-blocking role, catching just nine of 19 targets for 111 yards and no touchdowns. At the time of this report, Dallas Goedert still hasn't re-signed with the team, but the Eagles did sign Grant Calcaterra to a one-year deal, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Mundt should be a key blocking piece to the Eagles' run-heavy attack, which frequently utilizes multiple tight ends, in 2026 regardless of Goedert's status with the team.

Knox and the Bills have agreed on a new three-year deal for the tight end, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, Knox had been due $12 million this season, including a $1.5 million roster bonus, but his re-worked deal is slated to lower his cap hit for 2026, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo. Knox recorded a 36/417/4 receiving line on 49 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2025, a pace that kept him on the radar in deeper fantasy formats. He did that while working alongside fellow TE Dalton Kincaid (39/571/5 in 12 regular-season contests), who remains under contract with Buffalo, a scenario that sets up a continued timeshare at the position in 2026.
