Josh Whyle Emerging as Legitimate Pass-Catching Threat?

Friday, June 26, 10:10 AM

Green Bay Packers tight end Josh Whyle has emerged this offseason after taking significant snaps with the starters, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers still have Tucker Kraft as their TE1 and Luke Musgrave as depth, and Whyle only caught five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in eight games last year in Green Bay. "We can't believe that the Titans would let a product like that go," Kraft said. "And we're fortunate to have him." The 26-year-old former fifth-rounder by Tennessee in 2023 out of the University of Cincinnati caught 37 of his 52 targets for 342 yards and two touchdowns in 28 games (seven starts) in his first two years in the NFL with the Titans. Although he had a limited role with the Packers in Year 3 in 2025, Whyle could be more involved in a depth role in Green Bay in 2026. Whyle is only a name to monitor for now, and he'll likely need one of Kraft or Musgrave to miss time due to injury to find a fantasy-relevant role.

Patrick Murtagh News

Patrick Murtagh Let Go By Jaguars

Thursday, May 15, 3:27 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars released tight end Patrick Murtagh on Thursday, according to NFL.com. The 25-year-old Australian joined the NFL International Player Pathway in 2023 and was assigned to the Detroit Lions before stepping down due to a medical issue. He then spent time with the Jaguars in 2024 and this offseason before being cut. The organization recently signed former Buffalo Bills tight end Quintin Morris, and has Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt, and Hunter Long already on the roster. Based on development thus far, it would be a surprise if Murtagh ever appears in an NFL game.
