Titans Sign TJ Sheffield, Drake Dabney

Monday, May 12, 9:32 PM

The Tennessee Titans announced on Monday that they signed undrafted rookie free-agent wide receiver TJ Sheffield and tight end Drake Dabney after they tried out in last weekend's rookie minicamp. In corresponding moves, undrafted free-agent cornerback Virgil Lemons and safety Jerrin Thompson were waived. Sheffield recorded 172 catches for 1,714 yards and 14 total touchdowns in his collegiate career at Purdue and Connecticut. Dabney started all 13 games at TCU in 2024 after previously appearing in 40 games (24 starts) at Baylor and catching 65 passes for 873 yards and eight touchdowns. Dabney set a single-season school record for the Horned Frogs last year in his senior season for most receiving yards (552) by a tight end. Sheffield and Dabney will be competing for a 53-man roster spot in training camp this summer.

Browns Select Joe Royer With 170th Overall Pick

Saturday, April 25, 11:28 AM

The Cleveland Browns have selected Cincinnati tight end prospect Joe Royer with the 170th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Royer started his collegiate career at Ohio State before transferring to Cincinnati ahead of the 2024 season. Across two years with the Bearcats, he caught 79 passes for 937 yards and seven touchdowns. He projects best as a rotational depth tight end who can pick up the tough, physical yards needed to move the chains. Royer, Jack Stoll, and Blake Whiteheart will compete for playing time behind incumbent starting tight end Harold Fannin Jr.
