Who Should I Start? Tre' McKitty or Feleipe Franks

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.

The Atlanta Falcons are signing former Carolina Panthers tight end Feleipe Franks to a one-year contract. The financial details of the deal have not yet been disclosed. D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported the news. Franks, a former quarterback, signed initially with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent back in 2021 but spent most of his time on the field as a wildcat QB. The 27-year-old was converted to tight end in 2022. However, he did not make an NFL roster the following season. In 2024, the Arkansas alum appeared in 16 games for Carolina, catching one pass for 12 yards on 45 snaps. He'll slot in behind teammates Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner in the team's tight-end pecking order.
