49ers' Troy Fumagalli: Inks deal with San Fran
The 49ers signed Fumagalli (undisclosed) to a one-year contract Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Fumagalli appeared in six games for Denver in 2020, totaling eight receptions for 80 yards and one touchdown, but he didn't play at all in 2021 due to an undisclosed injury. However, the 27-year-old appears to be healthy after participating in the 49ers' rookie minicamp last weekend. To make room for Fumagalli, San Francisco released Garrett Walston.

Giants' Jeremiah Hall: Headed to Big Apple
The Giants signed Hall as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Hall finished his final campaign at Oklahoma with 32 receptions for 334 yards and four touchdowns. The Giants revamped their tight-end corps this offseason, signing Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins in free agency and drafting Daniel Bellinger in the fourth round. Hall is expected to compete with fellow UDFA Austin Allen this offseason, but both players are likely long shots to make the initial 53-man roster.

Saints' Lucas Krull: Signs with New Orleans
The Saints signed Krull as an undrafted free agent Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Krull finished his final campaign at Pittsburgh with 38 receptions for 451 yards and six touchdowns. The Saints are returning their top four tight ends from a year ago and signed J.P. Holtz this offseason, so Krull likely will be a long shot to make the roster.

Patriots' Matt Sokol: Joins Patriots

Sokol signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions in January, but he ultimately was cut last Tuesday. The 26-year-old last played in the NFL with the Chargers in 2020, appearing in two games. He'll likely compete with the duo of 2020 third-round selections Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene for a roster spot.

Cole Fotheringham TE | NE
Raiders' Cole Fotheringham: Gets chance with Raiders
Fotheringham has signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.
Fotheringham recorded 15 receptions for 128 yards over eight games in his final season with Utah in 2021. The rookie tight end was the only player at his position signed in Las Vegas' class of undrafted free agents. He'll join a position group that currently features four veteran players, including Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Jacob Hollister and Nick Bowers. Fotheringham likely will need to carve out a niche for himself as a blocking tight end this offseason.
