Fannin could be a big part of a Browns offense that is likely to run more two-tight-end sets in 2025, per ESPN.com.

Cleveland invested significant stock in Fannin, taking him in the third round of April's NFL Draft. The Bowling Green product showed off serious pass-catching skills in college, tallying 117 receptions on 156 targets for 1,555 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final campaign. The reception and yardage totals were the most by a tight end in a single season in FBS history, though at 6-foot-3, 241 pounds, Fannin is a bit undersized for his position in the NFL. That said, Browns tight ends coach Christian Jones praised Fannin for his strong hands and ability to track the ball following a strong practice Thursday, and the incoming rookie could immediately get looks in the Browns' offense alongside veteran TE David Njoku, who is heading into the final season of a four-year contract.

Kincaid has "added both strength and bulk" during the offseason, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Kincaid dealt with knee injuries last year, causing him to miss three regular-season games and to log lower snap counts following his Week 15 return. Bills GM Brandon Beane attributed the talented tight end's lessened statistics -- he went from a 73-673-2 receiving line in the regular season as a rookie to a 44-448-2 line as a sophomore -- to the knee issues, saying Kincaid's campaign was "really more of an injury thing and nothing more than that." Per Buscaglia, Kincaid impressed during practice Thursday and now has a clean bill of health. He adds that Kincaid's increased strength could help him remain on the field more often for run-blocking reps, which would increase his offensive snap count and be a boost to Buffalo's offense.

Njoku (knee) has been an active participant at Cleveland's mandatory minicamp, which concludes Thursday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Njoku missed the final two regular-season games of the 2024 campaign due to a knee injury and then skipped voluntary OTAs, but his participation at minicamp finally provides confirmation that he's fully healthy. The 2017 first-round pick, who turns 29 in July, figures to be extra motivated as he heads into a contract year, and with the Browns having added some competition for routes in the form of third-round rookie TE Harold Fannin, who led the FBS in terms of catches in 2024. Njoku is no stranger to underwhelming quarterback play, but as Cleveland prepares for a year in which all of Deshaun Watson (Achilles), Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders have conceivable paths to the starting lineup, it looks inevitable that he again is faced with overcoming a tumultuous situation under center.

The Chiefs signed Foelsch on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Foelsch was cut from the practice squad of the Super Bowl champions, the Eagles, near the end of last year. Now, he's getting picked up by last season's Super Bowl runner up. He'll probably have to make a big impression during training camp to earn a spot on the final 53-man roster for 2025.

Holker (undisclosed) participated during minicamp Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Holker was hindered by a minor injury earlier in the offseason, but he now seems to be back to full strength. Although he suited up for 12 games last season, he might not be a lock for a spot on New Orleans' final 53-man roster when the 2025 season starts.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Sinnott is one of the young players who has stood out during the offseason program, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Selected 53rd overall last spring after a standout combine performance, Sinnott was merely Washington's No. 3 TE throughout his rookie season, catching five passes on 311 offensive snaps. He has all the raw physical tools to become a quality NFL starter, but there's no assurance the opportunity comes along this year, as the Commanders re-signed both Zach Ertz and John Bates during the offseason. It at least sounds like Sinnott is making progress in Year 2 and earning more confidence from his coaches.

Bears coach Ben Johnson said Tuesday that he doesn't know if Loveland (shoulder) will be a full-go at the start of training camp, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Loveland said he should be ready, but Johnson didn't sound so sure. The 10th overall pick has been limited during Chicago's offseason program, with his recent workload including route-running on a side field. He underwent shoulder surgery in January, and while he's since resumed lifting weights and catching passes, he still needs to regain strength. Loveland said learning the Bears' playbook has been a bigger challenge than his rehab work so far.

Minnesota signed Ricci on Tuesday.

In a corresponding transaction, the Vikings released linebacker Matt Harmon. Ricci was dropped by Cleveland last August before signing a futures deal with New England in February, and he's now changing uniforms again. He's unlikely to crack Minnesota's 53-man roster in 2025.

Loveland (shoulder) said Tuesday he expects to be fully healthy for the start of training camp, Chris Emma of 670 The Score reports.

Loveland has yet to participate in on-field activities this offseason as he works his way back from late January shoulder surgery. The rookie tight end said he's currently on the final stage of his recovery, regaining strength in his shoulder, and that he's already able to participate in certain activities like running and catching. Bears coach Ben Johnson noted Tuesday that Loveland will have catching up to do in training camp, and that he's already missed "valuable time" building chemistry with quarterback Caleb Williams and earning the coaching staff's trust. Chicago knew the details of Loveland's recovery when making the decision to draft him at No. 10 overall, but the absence could make it more difficult for the 21-year-old to overtake incumbent starting tight end Cole Kmet to begin the regular season.

The Vikings signed Oliver to a three-year, $23.25 million contract on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Oliver is one of the league's better run-blocking tight ends and he filled in capably as a pass-catcher at times in 2024 for T.J. Hockenson, who didn't make his debut until Week 9. With Hockenson now fully recovered from the ACL tear he sustained in 2023, Oliver will resume his usual role in Minnesota's offense.
