Who Should I Start? Tre' McKitty or Blake Whiteheart

Friday, June 20, 6:05 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end Tre' McKitty has been waived by the organization. McKitty didn't stay too long in Cleveland as he signed a futures deal in January after joining the team late last season. Before that, McKitty spent three seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. He totaled 16 receptions for 117 yards with zero touchdowns across 34 games (12 starts) in three years with the Chargers. The 26-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere before the season begins. In a corresponding move, tight end Sal Cannella has been signed to the roster.

Exclusive-rights free-agent tight end Blake Whiteheart signed his tender offer from the Cleveland Browns on Monday and will officially return to the team in 2025. Whiteheart will head into his second season in Cleveland after catching six of nine targets for 51 yards and one touchdown in 11 games (two starts) in 2024. The 25-year-old once again won't be anywhere near the fantasy radar as he provides depth at the position for the Browns behind starter David Njoku. He went undrafted out of Wake Forest and began his NFL career in 2023 with the Arizona Cardinals, but he didn't receive a single target in two games played that year. In addition to Njoku and Whiteheart, the Browns also have Brenden Bates and Tre'McKitty on the TE depth chart this offseason.
