The Steelers signed Edmunds to a reserve/future contract Friday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Edmunds spent most of the 2021 campaign on Pittsburgh's practice squad. Although he was elevated to the active roster twice, he played exclusively on special teams.

The Cardinals signed Yelder to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.
Analysis: Yelder appeared in three games with the Buccaneers during the 2021 season, making one catch for no yards while playing 14 offensive snaps. The tight end will now join Arizona for the 2022 campaign and look to build upon his career numbers of 11 catches for 86 yards.

The Cardinals signed Ellis to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.
Analysis: The tight end joined the Cardinals' practice squad in November but failed to be elevated for any contests before the conclusion of the 2021 season. Ellis will now return to the team for the 2022 campaign and have another opportunity to crack the active roster.

Johnson caught 13 of 21 targets for 159 yards and four touchdowns over 14 games in 2021.
Analysis: After converting from wide receiver during the offseason, Johnson was one of three New Orleans tight ends to have a sizable role in 2021. However, Johnson ran a route on over 52 percent of his offensive snaps while Adam Trautman (33.8) and Vannett (36.3) hovered around one third. Moreover, Johnson's four touchdowns were more than Trautman (two) and Vannett (one) combined. While his overall stat line still wasn't very useful for fantasy purposes, Johnson had impressive moments for an undrafted player who changed positions ahead of his second season in the pros. As an exclusive-rights free agent, Johnson should be back in New Orleans in 2022, when he'll again look to push Trautman and Vannett for receiving reps at tight end.

The Patriots signed Ozigbo to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Ozigbo spent time with the Jaguars and Saints to begin the 2021 campaign but joined the Patriots for the final month of the regular season. He served mainly on practice squads and had minimal work across three regular-season appearances with Jacksonville and New Orleans. The 25-year-old will now attempt to carve out a role with New England heading into the offseason.
