Jets | Kenyon Sadiq signs rookie deal Thu May 7, 08:23 PM
New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq signed his rookie contract on Thursday, May 7. It is for four years and $22.3 million fully guaranteed.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars fifth-round draft choice TE Tanner Koziol signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Koziol is huge and knows how to use his body to get the ball in contested situations. He begins his pro career likely behind both Brenton Strange and fellow rookie Nate Boerkircher. In super deep dynasty leagues (especially those with tight end premiums), we are monitoring Koziol closely. |
Atlanta Falcons franchise free-agent TE Kyle Pitts officially signed his one-year tender offer Thursday, May 7. He is scheduled to make $15.045 million in 2026.
| Footballguys view: There was a report from NFL Network about a month ago that suggested Pitts had signed his franchise tender. Reports then surfaced about Pitts potentially being on the trade block. Since he's now signed for the 2026 season, perhaps a trade will go down. Stay tuned. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers sixth-round draft choice TE Bauer Sharp signed a four-year contract with the Buccaneers Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Sharp was originally a quarterback when he entered college football. After three teams, Sharp enters the NFL as a special teams player with limited production at tight end. He can be moved around the formation at tight end, so in super deep dynasty formats, we'll be keeping tabs on Sharp. |
Denver Broncos fifth-round pick TE Justin Joly signed his rookie four-year deal Thursday, May 7. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Joly has some move tight end skill, and he's going to be able to hone that skill set behind Evan Engram in 2026. With Davis Webb calling plays instead of Sean Payton this year, we think Engram has more of an impact than he did a year ago. His 50 catches for 461 yards and one touchdown were disappointing for Fantasy GMs, and Engram finished as the no.25 tight end in standard-scoring formats. Joly is not as athletic as Engram, but he's a slippery player the Broncos moved up for on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. |
Free-agent TE McCallan Castles (Packers) is scheduled to participate in the New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

Link to storyGreen Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst shared that DE Micah Parsons is recovering well and the team expects him to be 'back early in the season.'
| Footballguys view: Parsons suffered a torn ACL in December, cutting off his strong first season with Green Bay. He tallied 12.5 sacks with 12 tackles for loss and 27 quarterback hits, earning AP first-team All-Pro honors for the third time, despite playing just 14 games. We'll be watching his progress closely in coming weeks. |

Free-agent TE Jaheim Bell (Eagles) signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday, May 4. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) will be a candidate for the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list if he is not ready for the start of the 2026 season, in the opinion of NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco. The 49ers have not ruled out the possibility of Kittle being ready for Week 1.
| Footballguys view: In fact, head coach Kyle Shanahan has suggested Week 1 is entirely possible. Still, as Maiocco noted, a return for the opener seems like an aggressive timeline for Kittle's return from a torn Achilles, and the 49ers could be cautious, as he enters his 10th NFL season. If Kittle begins the season on the physically unable to perform list, Jake Tonges, who's proven to be a capable contributor in the passing game, would be the starter until the veteran returns. |

Miami Dolphins CB Isaiah Johnson, TE Zack Kuntz, CB Jason Maitre, DE Derrick McLendon, LB K.C. Ossai and P Seth Vernon were waived Monday, May 4. The Dolphins also released LS Taybor Pepper.

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Nate Boerkircher was drafted to help the offense run the ball in heavier sets, in the opinion of John Shipley of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: Shipley went on to note the Jaguars have made their intentions clear from the jump that this pick was about getting better at 12 and 13 personnel in a year in which half of the NFL is trending in that direction. That is what Shipley believes Boerkircher is here to help the Jaguars do. Add his blocking ability to Liam Coen's ability to scheme tight ends open in the passing game, and Shipley thinks it is fair to expect the Jaguars' offense to improve in this area. |
Dallas Cowboys TE Michael Trigg and TE DJ Rogers made positive impressions at rookie minicamp, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 'I'm really excited about those two young men adding into a group that I feel is maybe one of the more stable positions on our roster,' Schottenheimer said.
| Footballguys view: According to Footballguy Sigmund Bloom, Trigg has the pass-catching skills and athletic ability to matter in fantasy football, but off-field concerns made him fall out of the draft. He landed in the right organization to have room to straighten out. If he makes the team -- or another team poaches him off Dallas' practice squad -- put a pin in Trigg's name, especially in tight end premium leagues. Rogers, meanwhile, can do just enough in both the receiving and blocking game to maintain a role in the league over the long term, but is off of fantasy radars for now. |
Baltimore Ravens TE Matthew Hibner was a player the organization really liked, and it made a rare move, trading up 21 spots to get him in the 2026 NFL Draft. 'For (Hibner), we actually traded up 21 spots to get him. That's rare for us, but we saw great value,' general manager Eric DeCosta said. 'He's athletic and productive. We gave up a future sixth-round pick and felt it was worth it to move from the fifth to the fourth round.'
| Footballguys view: According to USA Today's Steve Rudden, the aggressive move up to land him underscores how highly the Ravens view Hibner's combination of production and athleticism, as well as their desire to add versatility to the Declan Doyle-led offense. Together, the mid-round selections of big-bodied wideout Ja'Kobi Lane and Hibner reflect Baltimore's commitment to evolving its passing attack -- adding size, physicality, and playmaking ability to complement its established offensive identity. Mark Andrews is still the only draftable tight end on this roster in redraft, but Hibner is part of a target-rich environment at the position in deep Dynasty leagues. |
Undrafted free-agent TE Patrick Gurd (Cincinnati) was signed by the Las Vegas Raiders Saturday, May 2. In a corresponding move, TE Matt Lauter was waived.
Link to storyFree-agent TE David Njoku (Browns) is scheduled to meet with the Los Angeles Chargers Monday, May 4, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Njoku is one of the most intriguing free agents (regardless of position) left in the free agent market. The Chargers have Oronde Gadsden as a second-year pro with a ton of upside. Getting Njoku would give him a resource as Gadsden continues to learn the NFL game. |

Link to storyBaltimore Ravens fourth-round draft choice TE Matthew Hibner signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens moved up in the fourth round to take Hibner, who has enough speed to fill the downfield receiving tight end role vacated when Isaiah Likely followed John Harbaugh to the Giants in free agency. Hibner will have a steep learning curve, so he's no threat to Mark Andrews fantasy value this year. |
Tennessee Titans seventh-round draft choice TE Jaren Kanak signed a four-year contract with the Titans Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Link to storyPhiladelphia Eagles TE Eli Stowers has rare athleticism, according to head coach Nick Sirianni. 'He does some things that no one else can do,' Sirianni said. 'Just to be able to create mismatches with him. He is a tough cover, catches everything, good after the catch, speed, quickness. Really excited to have him.'
| Footballguys view: Stowers was arguably the best receiving tight end in this draft class. A converted quarterback, Stowers knows where to sit down in a zone and comes back to the ball. Stowers brings speed and athleticism to the field at the tight end position. The Eagles should find ways to get him on the field behind Dallas Goedert. With Goedert hitting free agency in 2027, Stowers can be considered the future at the position. |
Free-agent TE Harrison Bryant (Texans) signed with the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday, April 29. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Bryant is a seasoned veteran who can block and catch. He'll provide the Seahawks with depth behind A.J. Barner, Elijah Arroyo, and Eric Saubert. We won't see Bryant do much unless injuries strike at the position. |

Link to storyTennessee TE Miles Kitselman signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Kitselman will be more useful for the Lions than for a fantasy team, and his limitations as a receiver will keep him low on depth charts until he improves his route-running ability. NFL.com's Lance Zierlein concurs, noting Kitselman "could find work as a TE3/4." |
Arizona State TE Chamon Metayer signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: The 6-4, 255-pound Metayer has a good frame and displays natural movement skills at his size. But as the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide suggests, he's more of a receiver than a tight end and will need to refine his route-running and run-blocking to earn playing time. |
Wyoming TE Evan Svoboda signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent.
Link to storySMU TE RJ Maryland is signing as an undrafted free agent with the Green Bay Packers, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Maryland is a linear athlete, but he ran a 4.51 at 6'4" 236 and looks like a wide receiver tracking and catching the ball downfield. He was coming off of a 2024 ACL tear last year, so there could be hidden upside to this wide receiver/tight end tweener - an archetype that has produced unlikely fantasy football hits in the past. |
Baylor TE Michael Trigg is signing as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys, a source said Saturday, April 25.
| Footballguys view: Trigg has all of the requisite passcatching and athletic talent to matter in fantasy football if he can ever earn a shot to play on Sundays. His lack of maturity and numerous off-field incidents made him fall out of the draft, but the Cowboys are a great organization for a malcontent to find his game - just ask George Pickens. Trigg's high ceiling is worth selecting in the late rounds of rookie drafts, and will be an easy drop that opens up a spot to take a shot on another young talent if he doesn't make the practice squad. |
