Cleveland signed McKitty to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Browns signed McKitty to their practice squad in December, and now he'll start the new league year with them. Key contributor Jordan Akins is not a sure thing to return in the offseason, meaning a restructuring of Cleveland's tight ends group may be forthcoming.

The Browns signed McKitty to the practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

McKitty spent time during the offseason with Buffalo, but this is his first time joining a practice squad during the 2024 regular season. The tight end appeared in six games with the Chargers back in 2023, but in that span he didn't record any offensive statistics.

McKitty was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Alec White of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKitty signed a reserve/future contract with Buffalo in January, reeling in a 20-yard reception on his only target in the preseason. If the tight end clears waivers, he could join the Bills' practice squad ahead of the 2024 campaign.

The Bills signed McKitty to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McKitty finished the season on Buffalo's practice squad, and now he'll get a chance to compete for a spot on its 53-man roster for 2024. He played six games with the Chargers this season, but he did not draw any targets.

Buffalo signed McKitty to its practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Just a week after being waived by the Chargers, McKitty has already found another opportunity with a new team. With Dawson Knox (wrist) and Zach Davidson (undisclosed) both on the Bills' injured reserve list, McKitty could be called up as soon as Monday versus Denver.

The Chargers waived McKitty on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKitty played 96 snaps -- 61 on offense and 35 on special teams -- across six games this season and did not record a stat. The 2021 third-round pick didn't get much of a chance to participate in the Chargers' offense behind Gerald Everett and Donald Parham. McKitty will be able to explore his next moves should he clear waivers.

McKitty went without a target while playing three of his 14 total snaps on offense in the Chargers' 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

McKitty might be the best blocker among the four tight ends on the Chargers' 53-man roster, but his prowess in that regard hasn't earned him much work thus far. He's played just eight snaps on offense through the first two weeks, placing McKitty well behind Gerald Everett (79), Donald Parham (67) and Stone Smartt (26).

McKitty finished the 2022-23 season catching 10 of his 18 targets for 72 yards.

EDGE Analysis

McKitty failed to surpass 100 yards on the season despite playing in every game, and was outgained on the season by Donald Parham who only played in six games. While McKitty has primarily been used as a run blocker, he has still failed to live up to his status as a third-round pick. Don't expect McKitty to be involved more as a pass catcher unless the Chargers opt not to bring back Parham, who is a restricted free agent.

McKitty snared one of his two targets for 10 yards in the 20-3 win over the Colts on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McKitty continues to see plenty of snaps as a blocking specialist and has slowly been incorporated into the passing attack more as a result. The second-year tight end has drawn four targets in the past four games after combining for just 7 total from Weeks 1-11. Needless to say, McKitty should not be in fantasy consideration unless injuries impact the availability of Donald Parham or Gerald Everett.

McKitty recorded a five-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Though Gerald Everett is the Chargers' starting tight end, McKitty frequently shares the field with him. He played 40 snaps on offense in Week 14, though unlike Everett -- who finished with five catches for 28 yards on eight targets -- McKitty wasn't prominently featured in the passing attack. Since earning six targets Week 10 against the 49ers, McKitty has drawn only two looks from quarterback Justin Herbert in the Chargers' subsequent four games.
