Gentry was released by the Raiders on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry failed to secure a spot on Vegas' 53-man roster, as the Raiders went with Brock Bowers (foot), Michael Mayer and Harrison Bryant at tight end. With 41 regular-season games of NFL experience under his belt, the 6-foot-8 Gentry has a decent chance of securing at least a practice squad spot somewhere or could be an appealing option for another team looking to bolster its tight end depth.

The Raiders are signing Gentry off Cincinnati's practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry will join Vegas' active roster and will provide depth in a tight end room that's dealing with injuries to Michael Mayer (toe) and Jesper Horsted (hamstring). Both Mayer and Horsted missed Monday's win over the Chiefs, and if they remain out Sunday against the Colts, only Austin Hooper would slot in ahead of Gentry on the depth chart.

Gentry signed with the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2019 fifth-round pick re-signed with Pittsburgh in late March before missing the 53-man roster one week ago. Throughout his four-year career in Pittsburgh, Gentry appeared in 40 games and tallied 303 yards on 39 receptions.

The Steelers released Gentry on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry spent the last four years in Pittsburgh after being selected by the team in the fifth round of the 2019 draft. He topped 100 yards in each of the past two seasons but had a quiet preseason in 2023 and was unable to make the team's 53-man roster.

Gentry secured one of two targets for seven yards across the Steelers' three preseason games.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry rejoined the Steelers on a one-year deal during the offseason but wasn't utilized much in the passing game. Per Mark Kaboly of The Athletic, there's a chance Gentry doesn't make the 53-man roster now that rookie Darnell Washington is in the fold, but Gentry's solid blocking abilities bolster his chances for a spot on the final roster. However, it doesn't appear as though he'll have much fantasy value early in the regular season.

Gentry is set to re-sign with the Steelers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry has been with the Steelers for his first four years in the NFL, but he did not start playing a bigger role until 2021. He has played all 34 games over the previous two years. In that span he accumulated 299 yards on 38 receptions. He projects to back up Pat Freiermuth in 2023.

Gentry secured his lone target for 23 yards during the Steelers' 28-14 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry had a consistent snap share for most of the 2022 season, but he racked up double-digit receiving yards on just three occasions. Over his 17 appearances, he secured 19 of 23 targets for 132 yards. The 26-year-old is slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and it's possible he seeks out a team in which he's able to carve out a larger role.

Gentry secured his lone target for four yards during the Steelers' 24-16 win over Carolina on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Although Gentry had minimal fantasy production during Sunday's victory, he was on the field for 62 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps, which outpaced fellow tight end Pat Freiermuth, who played 56 percent of the snaps. Gentry has had fairly consistent playing time this year but hasn't been very involved in the passing game, as he's secured just nine of 12 targets for 23 yards over the last nine games.

Gentry failed to secure his lone target during the Steelers' 16-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry was on the field for a season-high 74 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps last week, but he played just 45 percent of the snaps against Baltimore, which is more in line with his usual marks. The 26-year-old has been mainly used in a blocking capacity this year, and he doesn't have much fantasy relevance.

Gentry secured his lone target for eight yards during the Steelers' 19-16 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gentry was on the field for 74 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps during Sunday's matchup, outpacing fellow tight end Pat Freiermuth, who played 55 percent of the offensive snaps. However, Gentry was much less involved than Freiermuth in the passing game, as Freiermuth led the team with 76 receiving yards on three receptions. While Gentry's increased playing time in Week 13 was encouraging, he's been used mainly as a blocking tight end this year and has logged double-digit receiving yards just twice.
