The Seahawks gave Jacob Hollister a second-round tender, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

It would be a surprise if a team signs Hollister given this second-round tender, so you can expect him to be back in the mix for Seattle in a crowded tight end group that has Will Dissly and added Greg Olsen earlier this offseason. Expect a ton of multiple-tight-end sets for the Seahawks in 2020.

The Packers officially released Jimmy Graham.

This was expected to happen today, and now it’s official. The veteran tight end should find a new team quickly (barring any issues with the coronavirus impacting potential team visits). Meanwhile, Green Bay is expected to pursue Austin Hooper in free agency, though they also have 2019 third-round pick Jace Sternberger in the mix at tight end.

The Browns are signing Case Keenum.

Keenum has been connected to the Browns all offseason, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the veteran quarterback has agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal with the team. Baker Mayfield is undoubtedly locked in as Cleveland’s starter entering 2020, but there seems to be a feeling that Keenum was being targeted to give the former No. 1 pick a jolt—and potentially take over if Mayfield doesn’t progress this season and the new regime decides they want to go in another direction at quarterback in 2021. Remember, new Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski coached Keenum in Minnesota.

The Titans are releasing Dion Lewis.

This move clears about $4 million in cap space, which will help as Tennessee looks to lock up both running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Ryan Tannehill during or ahead of free agency. The veteran Lewis should not have much trouble finding interest from other teams on the open market.

The Broncos are not tendering Brandon Allen.

Allen started three games for Denver last season, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero says the team wants to re-sign him—but he’ll have a chance to test the market.

The Giants have re-signed Elijhaa Penny, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.

Penny was set to become a restricted free agent, but the new coaching staff must like what they have seen from the versatile fullback. Penny is not likely to be a recommended fantasy option in 2020.

The Falcons are acquiring Hayden Hurst, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Atlanta moved quickly to fill the tight end void left by Austin Hooper’s expected departure in free agency, acquiring the 2018 first-round pick from Baltimore. The Falcons are reportedly sending a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick for Hurst and a fourth-rounder. Last season, Hurst was clearly frustrated with his role and at one point was even caught by the television mic loudly yelling to throw him the ball after a reception late in the year, and the Ravens are very deep at tight end, so the South Carolina product was an expected trade option this offseason. Hooper had over 71 receptions in each of the past two seasons with the Falcons, and Hurst has definite fantasy TE1 potential in 2020.
