James Mitchell News
Wednesday, March 11, 9:28 AM
The Carolina Panthers re-signed tight end James Mitchell to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, a league source told Joseph Person of The Athletic. Mitchell was a restricted free agent. Mitchell will return to Carolina for a second season in 2026 after catching all three of his targets for 28 yards in just five games played a year ago. The 26-year-old was drafted in the fifth round (177th overall) by the Detroit Lions in 2022 out of Virginia Tech. In his first three years in the league in Detroit, Mitchell had 13 receptions on 13 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in 29 games played (one start). He is not anywhere close to fantasy relevance in Carolina and will serve in a depth role at TE once again behind the likes of Ja'Tavion Sanders, Tommy Tremble, and Mitchell Evans.

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.
