Raiders Add Tight End Ian Thomas

Tuesday, March 25, 1:32 PM

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent tight end Ian Thomas (calf) to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Thomas will head to the AFC West after spending the first seven years of his NFL career with the Carolina Panthers after they selected him in the fourth round (101st overall) in the 2018 NFL draft out of Indiana. The 28-year-old never really established himself as a fantasy asset in Carolina, with his best season coming in his rookie campaign with a 36-333-2 line on 49 targets in 16 games (six starts). Thomas landed on Injured Reserve in 2024 with a calf injury and only caught three of six targets for seven yards in five games (two starts). He scored four touchdowns in his first three seasons but hasn't found the end zone since. In Vegas, he'll provide TE depth behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer and will remain off the fantasy radar.

Titans Sign Kylen Granson to One-Year Deal

Thursday, March 12, 3:43 PM

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent tight end Kylen Granson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Granson will return to the AFC South division after spending the first four years of his career with the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of SMU caught a career-low seven passes for 40 yards on nine targets in 17 regular-season games a year ago with the Philadelphia Eagles. Granson had 86 catches on 136 targets for 958 yards and only one touchdown in his four years in Indy as a depth TE. In Tennessee, he figures to be no better than the TE3 with the Titans to open the 2026 season while working behind second-year man Gunnar Helm and new addition Daniel Bellinger. Most of Granson's playing time in Nashville is likely to come on special teams.
