Graham signed a one-year contract with New Orleans on Tuesday.

The 36-year-old may need to compete for a roster spot in a crowded tight end corps that features Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill. Graham hasn't seen NFL action since the 2021 season, when he put up just a 14-167-3 receiving line in Chicago across 15 games. Graham may be nothing more than a situational end-zone target if he does make the team, but it will be fitting if he's able to finish out his career as a member of the Saints after catching 51 touchdowns in five seasons and making three Pro Bowls with the franchise in the early 2010s.

Pruitt is re-signing with the Falcons on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Pruitt is returning to Atlanta after appearing in 13 contests for the team last season. The 31-year-old recorded career highs across the board, with 16 receptions on 21 targets, 150 yards and four touchdowns. He'll likely be working to earn a role as the team's No. 3 tight end, behind Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith.

Forristall (undisclosed) passed his physical Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The Saints will presumably activate Forristall off the active/PUP list now that he's healthy. The undrafted product out of Alabama has been in the league since 2021, mostly spending time on the Browns' practice squad. He's appeared in six games over the past two seasons, but he failed to catch his only target during that stretch.

Tomlinson re-signed with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Tomlinson was released by the Texans on May 18, but he'll now have another opportunity with the team, which had originally signed him two weeks earlier. The 31-year-old spent last season with Denver, where he appeared in all 17 games and recorded nine catches on 13 targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bills plan to sign Sternberger on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Sternberger, a 2019 third-round pick by the Packers, appeared in 18 games over two seasons in Green Bay and caught 12 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown. He was let go in 2021 after serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy and has since spent time with the Seahawks, Commanders and Steelers but never appeared in a regular-season game for any of those teams. Sternberger played for the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL this spring and led the league with seven touchdowns while finishing fourth in receiving yards (517). The 27-year-old is certainly talented, but he'll have an uphill battle landing a roster spot in a tight end room that features Dawson Knox (lower leg) and Dalton Kincaid.

Thompson signed a contract with the Vikings on Monday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Thomspon spent the last three seasons with the Panthers, playing 26 games between 2020 and 2021. He remained in Carolina during the 2022 campaign, but he was never elevated from the practice squad. He'll work to earn a depth role in Minnesota behind T.J. Hockenson, with his strongest contributions likely coming on special teams.

Wilcox (undisclosed) re-signed with the Bengals on Monday and was subsequently placed on the active/PUP list.

Wilcox has spent the first two seasons of his career in Cincinnati, but he wasn't tendered a contract in March and became an unrestricted free agent. However, he'll now return and likely compete for backup duties behind Irv Smith. It's not clear what injury Wilcox is dealing with, but he'll be eligible to take the field and come off the PUP list once he can pass a physical.

Ogletree (knee) appears to be recovering well, as he was sprinting during a charity softball game Saturday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Ogletree, who tore his ACL during training camp last season, hasn't practiced in offseason OTAs to date. The 2022 sixth-round pick appears to be trending in the right direction and may be able to participate in camp soon. The 24-year-old is expected to compete with Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox for significant playing time this season.

McDonald (undisclosed) will start training camp on the active/NFI list, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

McDonald landed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent this offseason. He is the third rookie tight end on the roster, as Green Bay reloaded at the position with Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft during the draft. He seemingly is a long shot to land on the final 53-man roster, but he is still eligible to practice and play in the preseason at any point.

Forristall (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday, Terrin Waack of NOLA.com reports.

Forristall joined the Saints on a reserve/future contract in January. He's been in the league since 2021, mostly spending time on the Browns' practice squad. Forristall is very unlikely to make the roster out of training camp, and his current injury issues won't help his cause.
