The Rams and Parkinson agreed to terms of a three-year, $22.5 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Parkinson thus will get a chance to serve as L.A.'s top tight end in 2024 until Tyler Higbee completes his recovery from ACL and MCL tears that he sustained in the team's wild-card loss to the Rams in January. Considering the damage to Higbee's right knee, that may result in Parkinson handling TE duties for a good portion of the upcoming campaign, assuming the Rams don't make any big splashes at the position this offseason. Parkinson was modestly productive for the Seahawks the last two seasons, combining for a 50-569-4 line on 68 targets in 34 games.

The Packers are in line to re-sign Davis (knee), Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Davis missed all of last season due to a torn ACL, but he's now expected to be cleared by the start of training camp, and potentially even earlier. The 2020 sixth-round pick is a core special-teams contributor for Green Bay.

Sample has signed a three-year contract extension with the Bengals.

Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, the deal is worth $10.5 million. Sample is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he recorded 22 catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. While the 2019 second-rounder is back in the fold, Sample's potential workload and in turn fantasy upside in 2024 hinges on what other moves the Bengals make at the tight end position in free agency and the draft.

Knox and the Bills have agreed to a restructured contract that lowers his scheduled $14.4 million cap hit for 2024, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The tight end is entering the second season of a four-year, $52 million extension that guarantees most of his money through 2024 but none thereafter. It's possible this agreement changes that, but if not, Knox's future with the team could come into question next offseason. His fantasy value has taken a big hit since the Bills drafted fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Yeboah and the Jets agreed on a one-year contract Sunday.

Yeboah will return to the Jets for a fourth season with the team after he recorded two catches for 28 yards while appearing in five games with New York in 2023. With C.J. Uzomah no longer a part of the organization, more snaps could be available at tight end for the 25-year-old Yeboah in 2024.

The Eagles informed Stoll on Sunday that he won't be tendered a contract as an restricted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Stoll thus will become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year Wednesday, but Fowler notes that it doesn't preclude the Eagles from re-signing the 26-year-old tight end if the price is right. He served as Philadelphia's No. 2 tight end for most of the 2023 season, appearing in all 17 regular-season games and contributing five catches for 38 yards on eight targets while being deployed primarily as a blocker over his 430 snaps on offense.

The Panthers decided not to tender Ricci (shoulder) on Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old tight end could very well be on the move this offseason after the Panthers chose to not tender him Friday. Across his three years in Carolina, Ricci caught nine of his 12 targets for 102 yards while also contributing on special teams. Ricci has a chance to compete for a depth/special-teams role if he's picked up by a team this offseason.

The Broncos released Manhertz on Friday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

After appearing in 16 of the Broncos' games in 2023, the team has decided to part ways with Manhertz. The veteran tight end has also spent time with Carolina, Jacksonville and New Orleans throughout his eight-year NFL career. He's now set to hit the open market after playing a total of 453 snaps last season (367 offensive and 86 on special teams).

The Bills re-signed Morris on a one-year deal Friday.

The 25-year-old tight end will remain in Buffalo after spending the first two years of his career with the Bills. Morris has appeared in 19 games over the past two seasons, logging 10 catches for 210 yards and two touchdowns while also contributing on special teams. The Bowling Green product likely isn't guaranteed a roster spot, but he's expected to compete for another depth/special teams role throughout the offseason.

The Vikings agreed to terms with Mundt on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Mundt seems to have found a home in Minnesota after spending the first four years of his career with the Rams. In his two seasons with the Vikings, the 29-year-old has appeared in 34 games and put up 312 receiving yards, catching 36 of his 44 targets. Expect Mundt to continue serving as a depth piece in Minnesota's tight end room in 2024.
