Deguara was targeted eight times and had eight receptions for 65 yards over 15 games in the 2023 regular season.

Deguara suited up for every game he was healthy for, but he was mainly limited to blocking duties and special teams. He will have a chance to return to Green Bay as an unrestricted free agent, but the sides could go in different directions after four years.

Sims was targeted six times and caught four passes for 21 yards and a touchdown over 17 regular-season games in 2023.

Sims spent his rookie season in a bit role, but he suited up for all 17 regular-season games and both playoff contests the Packers played, which is not too shabby for an undrafted rookie who was claimed off waivers shortly before the campaign began. It's going to be tough for Sims to move up the depth chart with both players ahead of him (Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft) also heading into their second seasons, but Sims likely will head into training camp with a good chance to retain a roster spot.

Musgrave was targeted four times and caught three passes for 14 yards in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.

Musgrave showed his upside with a 52-yard, one-score showing in Green Bay's playoff opener at Dallas, but he did not make as much noise in the finale. The rookie second-rounder put his potential on display several times early in the season before missing six games due to a lacerated kidney. He returned in a reserve role Week 18 behind fellow rookie Tucker Kraft, but Musgrave did play ahead of Kraft prior to that. The two figure to compete for the top spot over the offseason, but regardless of how things shake out, expect both to factor heavily in 2024.

Kincaid caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in Buffalo's 27-24 divisional-round loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

The stat line explains more than just Kincaid having another strong game in what's been a fantastic rookie season, as the fact that his 45 yards led the team shows just how much the Bills couldn't get Stefon Diggs going in such a crucial game, or that Josh Allen has to play Superman with his legs for the team to keep up with elite opponents. As for Kincaid, his 73 receptions in the regular season were the fourth most in NFL history by a rookie tight end, and he's already passed teammate Dawson Knox as the No. 1 tight end in the passing game. The future is bright for Kincaid, who posted a 73-673-2 line in 16 regular-season games, especially considering he'll have an elite quarterback throwing him the ball for perhaps the next several years.

Green Bay signed Wilson to a reserve/future contract Monday.

The Packers added Wilson to their practice squad back in late November, and now they're giving him an opportunity to compete for a spot on their 53-man roster for 2024. He caught 44 passes for 445 yards and six touchdowns at Central Michigan in 2022.

Green Bay signed Pearson to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Pearson spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad, but he'll now get an opportunity to compete for a spot on the Packers' 53-man roster for 2024. Over two games this year, he played just 11 offensive snaps.

The Bills signed McKitty to a reserve/future contract Monday.

McKitty finished the season on Buffalo's practice squad, and now he'll get a chance to compete for a spot on its 53-man roster for 2024. He played six games with the Chargers this season, but he did not draw any targets.

Houston signed Keene to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Keene played just one game with the Texans this season, but they apparently saw enough to give him a chance at a spot on their 53-man roster for 2024. He has good speed and agility, but he's only suited up for seven games since he was drafted in the third round by the Patriots in 2020.

Tampa Bay signed Wells to a reserve/future contract Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Wells finished the season on the Buccaneers' practice squad, and now he'll get a chance to compete for a spot on their 53-man roster for 2024. Over five games this year, he drew just two targets, both of which he caught for minus-10 yards.

Schoonmaker caught eight of 15 targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns over 17 regular-season games in 2023.

The Cowboys used a second-round pick on the Michigan product in 2023, drafting him 58th overall, but while fellow rookie tight ends like Sam LaPorta (34th overall), Dalton Kincaid (25th overall) and the Packers' duo of Luke Musgrave (42nd overall) and Tucker Kraft (78th overall) all made impacts, Schoonmaker saw minimal looks behind Jake Ferguson and caught more than one pass in a game only once all year. Schoonmaker should have a bigger role in 2024, but as long as Ferguson stays healthy, a breakout seems unlikely.
