  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Snares two passes in win

    Barner caught two of three targets in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.

    Barner finished the regular season second on the Seahawks in receptions (52), third in receiving yards (519) and second in receiving touchdowns (six). He also added one rushing score. Barner is an intriguing player with weekly touchdown upside, and he'll get a week of rest before the Seahawks begin their playoff run in the NFC divisional round.

  • Joel Wilson TE | TEN

    Titans' Joel Wilson: Signs future deal with Titans

    The Titans signed Wilson (undisclosed) to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Wilson was unable to make Chicago's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He got another opportunity with Tennessee in mid-September as a member of the team's practice squad but landed on the Titans' practice squad/injured list in early December due to an undisclosed issue. Wilson has yet to appear in a regular-season game since entering the league in May 2023 as an undrafted free agent, but he'll participate in offseason activities with the Titans and look to build some momentum heading into training camp in July.

  • Raiders' Albert Okwuegbunam: Secures future deal with Las Vegas

    The Raiders signed Okwuegbunam to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    Okwuegbunam spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign with Las Vegas as a member of the practice squad, garnering a pair of elevations in Week 4 and Week 5. The tight end reeled in five of six targets for 36 yards in the team's Week 5 loss to the Colts, and he didn't get another shot with the active roster the rest of the way. With Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer still under contract in 2026, Okwuegbunam will compete for the No. 3 role at tight end ahead of next season.

  • Raiders' Justin Shorter: Inks future deal with Las Vegas

    The Raiders signed Shorter to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    Shorter spent the first seven weeks of the season with the Raiders' active roster, failing to record any stats over five offensive snaps while also logging 81 snaps on special teams. The wide receiver was then subsequently waived and re-signed to the practice squad after Las Vegas added veteran Tyler Lockett in late October. Shorter will now have the opportunity to train with the Raiders during the offseason and potentially earn another shot with the active roster in 2026.

  • Zach Horton TE | DET

    Lions' Zach Horton: Secures new deal with Detroit

    The Lions signed Horton to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    Horton reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday after playing three snaps on offense and three snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bears. The tight end appeared in two games this season with Detroit, failing to log any stats in either contest. Horton will now be given a chance to prove himself with the team during their offseason training activities ahead of the 2026 campaign.

  • Cam Grandy TE | CIN

    Bengals' Cam Grandy: Signs extension with Cincinnati

    Grandy (chest) and the Bengals agreed on a one-year contract extension Monday.

    Grandy appeared in five contests during the regular season, catching both of his targets for seven yards while playing 28 snaps on offense. With Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample both under contract for 2026, Grandy will compete to operate as the team's No. 3 option at tight end next season.

  • Browns' Caden Prieskorn: Inks deal with Browns

    The Browns signed Prieskorn to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    Prieskorn signed to Cleveland's practice squad in late October after being cut by Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old did not appear in a game this season. The Ole Miss product will participate in the Bowns' offseason activities, and he is expected to compete for a spot on their active roster next season.

  • Sal Cannella TE | CLE

    Browns' Sal Cannella: Stays with Browns

    The Browns signed Cannella to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    Cannella was elevated for both of Cleveland's final two games of the season as additional help at tight end, where he played 35 total snaps (29 offensive and six on special teams), catching two passes for 11 yards on five targets. The 29-year-old will participate in the Browns' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

  • Lions' Anthony Firkser: Eight catches in 2025

    Firkser caught eight of 10 targets for 53 yards over seven contests during the 2025 regular season.

    Firkser signed with the Lions' practice squad in mid-November and was quickly elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 12 matchup with the Giants due to Sam LaPorta (back) being sidelined. The tight end's role quickly expanded after Brock Wright (neck) went down for the year in Week 13, and Firkser ultimately caught at least one pass in four of the seven games he appeared in with the team. Prior to this season, Firkser hadn't reeled in a pass since the 2022 campaign, and he'll now be a free agent heading into the offseason.

  • Shane Zylstra TE | DET

    Lions' Shane Zylstra: Limited production in 2025

    Zylstra caught three of five targets for 20 yards over six games during the 2025 regular season.

    Zylstra opened the season as the Lions' No. 3 option at tight end behind Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck), but due to injuries, he became relevant in the final few weeks. The tight end missed nearly three months of action himself from early September to Dec. 14 due to injury, but even when healthy, he went without a target in five of six games this season. Zylstra will now enter the offseason as a free agent, and he'll likely have a limited market for his talents in 2026.
