Stone Smartt News
Thursday, March 13, 4:21 PM
The New York Jets signed former Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Smartt was a restricted free agent this offseason but was not tendered by the Bolts, making him available to all teams. The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent came on strong late last year for L.A. and finished with career-highs in catches (16) and receiving yards (208) on 19 targets in 15 regular-season games (two starts), although he didn't find the end zone at all. Smartt could have an opportunity to build on his 2024 season in his new home in New York in 2025, as Tyler Conklin and Kenny Yeboah are currently unrestricted free agents. The only other TE on the Jets' current roster is Jeremy Ruckert. The Jets could still add to the position in free agency and the draft, but Smartt will be one to watch heading into training camp this summer.

Sam Roush News
Friday, April 24, 5:38 PM
The Chicago Bears have selected Stanford tight end prospect Sam Roush with the 69th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He joins a relatively crowded tight end room that already features 2025 first-rounder Colston Loveland and veteran Cole Kmet. There's still a fit for Roush here, as he's more of a blocker while the Bears' returning tight ends excel as pass catchers. With that being said, he did get more involved as a receiver during his final season at school, catching 49 passes for 545 yards and two touchdowns. He excelled most in pass blocking, where he posted a 68.8 PFF grade. With Loveland and Kmet presumably ahead of Roush on the depth chart, it might be a little while before the Stanford product makes a consistent fantasy impact. He entered the draft outside the top 85 tight ends in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, and he figures to remain an afterthought in fantasy football because of the landing spot.
