Titans Sign Tight End Daniel Bellinger

Monday, March 9, 4:53 PM

The Tennessee Titans signed former New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger to an undisclosed deal on Monday, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The move reunites him with former head coach Brian Daboll, who is now the offensive coordinator in Tennessee. The 25-year-old is expected to help replace Chig Okonkwo, who is most likely departing in free agency. Second-year tight end Gunnar Helm is expected to move into the top pass-catching tight end role in Tennessee, with Bellinger likely being the No. 2. In his four years with the Giants and Daboll, Bellinger had 88 catches for 934 yards and four touchdowns in 62 regular-season games. The former fourth-rounder in 2022 out of San Diego State had a career-best 286 receiving yards on 19 catches last year, scoring only twice in 16 games. Unless Helm misses time due to injury in 2026, Bellinger should be on the waiver wire in standard 12-team leagues.

AJ Barner News

AJ Barner Expected to be Ready for Training Camp

Thursday, June 4, 8:45 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner (undisclosed) hasn't taken part in on-field workouts during the offseason program after having two undisclosed surgeries, but he's "feeling good" and is expected to be back on the field for training camp this summer, according to John Boyle of the team's official website. The 24-year-old was on the weekly injury report for Seattle regularly late last season, being listed with hip, elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle, and calf injuries. He still made 20 starts, including the postseason, and he finished with 52 receptions (68 targets) for 519 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts in his second year in the NFL. "I'm going to feel much better, and I'm already feeling much better, and I think that's where I'll see strides," Barner said. "I'm feeling good, and I'm chomping at the bit trying to get back out there." The third-year TE should remain a threat in the red zone for the defending Super Bowl champs in 2026, but the expected emergence of Elijah Arroyo will certainly cap his fantasy ceiling in 2026. RotoBaller has Barner ranked as the No. 27 fantasy TE going into the upcoming season.
