49ers | Bentley Hanshaw invited to Niners camp Tue Apr 29, 09:38 PM

Link to storyChicago Bears first-round draft choice TE Colston Loveland (Michigan) was told by new head coach Ben Johnson that the No. 10 overall pick reminded him 'a lot' of Sam LaPorta.
Footballguys view: The 6-5, 245-pound Loveland, who had 56 receptions, including five for TDs, last season, is viewed as a key to unlocking the potential of Johnson's offense. That same offense allowed LaPorta to catch 86 passes and 10 touchdowns as a Pro Bowl rookie in 2023 when he finished as the No. 1 tight end in fantasy. While Loveland opens as TE21 on the Footballguys 2025 projections, we'll all be looking for signs that he might play a role in Chicago similar to LaPorta's in Detroit. |
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle agreed to a four-year, $76.4 million extension Tuesday, April 29. The deal includes $40 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid tight end in the league.
Footballguys view: Kittle caught 78 passes and posted 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns. More importantly, for our purposes, while he was third in total fantasy points at the position behind Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, Kittle was first in points per game, with 15.8. This kind of finish is not new. Since his breakout in 2018, Kittle has been a top-five fantasy TE in six seasons where he played at least 14 games. With Deebo Samuel Sr. now a Washington Commander and with Brandon Aiyuk coming off a torn ACL, Kittle, currently TE3 on our 2025 projections, will continue to play a prominent role in the Niners' passing attack. |

Link to storyPhiladelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert had been the center of trade speculation but wasn't dealt during the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager Howie Roseman was vague about the situation, according to the team press transcript. 'Dallas is part of the team as we speak,' Roseman said when asked if not drafting a tight end reflects upon Goedert's status. 'Obviously, as we go forward, we're going to continue to address things on this team and right now nothing further.'
Footballguys view: Goedert's future has been questioned due to his $11.7 million cap hit in 2025 and zero guaranteed money remaining on his contract. Now 30 years old, Goedert has played a full slate of games only once in his seven-year career -- and that was as a rookie. He managed a career-low 10 regular-season appearances last season due to injury, which led to a career-low two touchdown catches. Goedert's 496 receiving yards and 42 catches also marked lows outside his inaugural campaign in Philly. As NFL.com suggests, Roseman's non-answer on Goedert's future likely speaks volumes to some. There's still plenty of offseason left to figure out if it's simply the GM keeping things in-house or a sign of a split to come. |

Link to storyOhio State RB TreVeyon Henderson and Louisiana State University TE Mason Taylor are reportedly the two players that the Cleveland Browns are eyeing with their two second-round selections on Friday, April 25 (Nos. 33 and 36 overall).
Link to storyLouisiana State University TE Mason Taylor is reportedly the target of the New York Jets with the No. 42 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday, April 25. However, the belief is Taylor is unlikely to fall that far, according to Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline.
Footballguys view: The Jets could have been in the market for Tyler Warren (Penn State) if OT Armand Membou wasn't on the board when they picked in the first round. They went with the offensive lineman in the first round, so now it's time to look at tight end. Taylor can make an immediate impact in this league because of his size and hands. |
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren was 'targeted' by the team for months leading up to the draft, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder, who says that with his skills as both a blocker and pass catcher, Warren will 'rarely leave the field' as a rookie.
Footballguys view: Many thought Warren would be long gone by the time the Colts picked at no.14 overall. He was on the board, and the Colts seemingly rushed to turn the card in that selected the Penn State product. Warren has a "TE" next to his name, but he's really an offensive weapon who can be used all over the field. He should immediately contribute and become a favorite target of QB Anthony Richardson. |
