Telfer has elected to retire, per his official Twitter account.

EDGE Analysis

Telfer (undisclosed), who spent each of his two seasons in the league with the Browns, was nearly traded to Kansas City in exchange for linebacker Dadi Nicolas earlier in the offseason. The trade was called off, and the Browns elected to instead waive Telfer. The 26-year-old then failed to pass a physical with the Colts before being let go. The 2016 6th-rounder retires with 30 games and 40 yards under his belt.

Telfer was waived by the Colts following a failed physical.

EDGE Analysis

After a trade sending Telfer from Cleveland to Kansas City fell through earlier in May, as well as this recent signing with the Colts being nixed, it appears as though the 25-year-old tight end isn't at full strength. What exactly is giving him issues securing a deal is unclear at this point in time, though it now puts his chances of joining a team for offseason activities in danger. Whether Telfer lands another deal or not, he's typically been used as a blocker and won't factor much into a potential team's passing game.

Telfer was claimed off waivers Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a trade between the Browns and Chiefs fell through last week, Telfer was waived by Cleveland, which allows the Colts to pick up the 25-year-old tight end. He'll battle for a roster spot throughout training camp and the preseason, though even if he does make the team, Telfer will likely be used primarily as a blocker and that severely limits any potential fantasy value.

The trade that was supposed to send Telfer to Kansas City from Cleveland in exchange for linebacker Dadi Nicolas has been cancelled, and Telfer will be waived by the Browns, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what ceased this trade from happening, but Telfer will likely be picked up by a new team nonetheless. The fourth-year player is a skilled run blocker, but he has just five receptions for 40 yards in 30 career games which keeps him far from fantasy rosters. Telfer will look for employment as an early-down tight end.

Telfer is being traded from the Browns to the Chiefs in exchange for linebacker Dadi Nicolas, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Telfer officially started 14-of-16 games for the Browns last season, but pulled in just three receptions for 36 yards, as he was mainly used as a run-blocker. Despite the change in scenery after being traded to the Chiefs on Tuesday, Telfer's role in the passing game shouldn't change much, especially with both Travis Kelce and Demetrius Harris in the fold. For that reason, Telfer can be avoided for fantasy purposes, as he'll simply offer another big body to help make room for running back Kareem Hunt.

Telfer finishes the 2017 season with three catches for 36 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Though Telfer was listed as Cleveland's first-string tight end week in and week out, that was never really the case. Seth DeValve and David Njoku dominated the tight end snaps and were heavily involved in the offense, while Telfer was mainly used in run blocking situations. The 25-year-old has just five receptions in his first two years in the NFL, and doesn't merit any fantasy consideration.

Telfer (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and will play Sunday against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Telfer left Week 13's game against the Chargers with a suspected concussion, but head coach Hue Jackson said he was dealing with a separate injury. The third-year pro has just two receptions and hasn't been targeted in the red zone through 12 games, so don't expect him to contribute much against the Packers, who are the third-best defense against tight ends this season.

Telfer does not have a concussion but is dealing with another injury, and coach Hue Jackson said Monday that he thinks the tight end is going to be fine, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

There doesn't appear to be much concern surrounding Telfer's injury, but there is also no report in regards to exactly what it is he is dealing with. Expect another update to come once the Browns release their official injury report later this week.

Telfer is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers as he is evaluated for a concussion, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Telfer would need to clear the league-mandated concussion protocol if the concussion is confirmed. The Browns would operate the rest of Sunday's game without a No. 3 tight end should the 25-year-old be unable to return.

Telfer (eye) returned to Sunday's game against the Lions, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Telfer will return to his role as a reserve tight end, and he shouldn't be expected to contribute much outside of run blocking and special teams.
