Parker concluded 2018 with five catches and 33 yards off of 10 targets.
EDGE Analysis
Parker started the season on the practice squad and moved up following the season-ending ACL injury to Jake Butt. He didn't get too involved in the offense until Jeff Heuerman (ribs) went down for the year in Week 12. As a No. 2 tight end, Parker didn't show too much promise as an option in the passing game. Even if Heuerman departs in the off season, the competition brought on by Butt, Matt LaCosse, and Troy Fumagalli alone will make it difficult for Parker to make the squad.

Parker was promoted to the active roster Saturday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Albany product has steadily worked his way up the ladder having just joined the practice squad at the beginning of September. Parker doesn't figure to have any significant role on the offensive side of the ball, but the tight end could be of service on special teams should he continue to impress the coaching staff.

The Broncos signed Parker to a reserve/future contract Monday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
EDGE Analysis
A third-year tight end out of Albany, Parker hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2015, when he made nine appearances with the Chiefs. He'll get the opportunity to take part in the Broncos' offseason program and make his case for a roster spot in training camp next summer.

Parker (undisclosed) was placed on IR Sunday.

The Jets signed Parker on Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Undrafted in 2015, Parker subsequently made nine appearances with the Chiefs during that season, corralling one of two targets for six yards. The tight end didn't make the cut last preseason, though, only to spend two days with the Jets before he was waived/injured just before the start of the regular season. After a year out of football, he'll have a chance to land a roster spot in a Jets positional group bereft of much talent.
