Ravens | Baltimore trims three from roster Fri Sep 1, 01:37 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Thaddeus Lewis, TE Larry Donnell and C Jeremy Zuttah were released Friday, Sept. 1.
| Footballguys view: Donnell was brought in after the Ravens suffered an injury and suspension at tight end, but apparently they are satisfied with Nick Boyle, Maxx Williams, and Ben Watson. Zuttah was re-signed after being cut in the offseason, with the hopes of providing depth, but they didn't see enough value in him to keep him. |

Ravens | Larry Donnell finds new home in Baltimore Sun Jul 30, 11:59 AM
Free-agent TE Larry Donnell (Giants) signed an undisclosed contract with the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, July 30. To make room for him on the roster, the Ravens waived WR Tim Patrick.
| Footballguys view: Donnell is a functional receiver, but had fumble problems and isn't a plus athlete at the position. Still, with Ben Watson coming back from achilles surgery and Maxx Williams from knee surgery, the team needs bodies for camp and preseason, and maybe the regular season. |

Colts | Larry Donnell trying out for Colts Tue Jun 13, 01:42 PM
Free-agent TE Larry Donnell (Giants) is trying out for the Indianapolis Colts Tuesday, June 13.
| Footballguys view: Donnell hasn't received much interest on the open market. Injuries and inconsistencies have plagued Donnell's career, and he lost the starting job with the Giants to Will Tye last year. The Colts don't have much behind Jack Doyle and Erik Swoope, so we'll see if Donnell can make an impression during this tryout and earn a spot in training camp. |

Giants | Larry Donnell won't be re-signed Mon Feb 13, 04:22 PM
New York Giants impending free-agent TE Larry Donnell will not be re-signed and will enter the free-agent market.

Giants | Will Tye to see bulk of snaps for NYG Sat Oct 8, 12:35 PM
New York Giants TE Will Tye is expected to see the majority of playing time at tight end while Larry Donnell (concussion) is out, according to the ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
| Footballguys view: Tye is a talented TE who could thrive without splitting the snaps with Donnell. Consider him a TE2 with upside against the Packers in Week 5. |

Giants | Larry Donnell on top of depth chart Mon Aug 8, 06:30 PM
New York Giants TE Larry Donnell is listed as the starting tight end on the team's first depth chart.
| Footballguys view: Donnell versus Will Tye is going to be a battle worth monitoring in the preseason. We're excited by the Giants passing game, and the TE could have some fantasy value...unless both split time. If one emerges, there could be TE2 value here for fantasy owners. |

Giants | Matt LaCosse in mix to start Wed Aug 3, 01:10 AM
New York Giants TE Matt LaCosse was impressive in the spring, earning first-team snaps in practice, and he continues to get them in training camp. He has worked his way into a three-man race for the starting tight end job with TEs Larry Donnell and Will Tye.
| Footballguys view: Chances are at least two players will play a role at tight end for the Giants, and there won't be a reliable fantasy play unless at least one of them gets hurt. Stay away in drafts. |

Giants | Will Tye the favorite? Mon Jul 25, 03:16 PM
New York Giants TE Will Tye is the favorite to start at tight end over TE Larry Donnell, in the opinion of NJ.com's Dan Duggan. TE Matt LaCosse is also expected to compete for the starting job.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, reports said Tye 'caught everything' that came in his direction and 'showed remarkable consistency for a second-year player' during organized training activities and minicamps. Tye could be a sneaky TE1 this year if he wins the starting job over Larry Donnell. |

Giants | Two expected to fight for Giants' TE job Fri Jul 1, 04:16 PM
New York Giants TE Larry Donnell and TE Will Tye are expected to compete for the starting tight end job during training camp.
| Footballguys view: Donnell is not a slappy, but his injury history and inconsistency may cause him to lose out to Tye. In 2015 over the final eight games of his rookie season, Tye was targeted 50 times for 34 receptions , 387 yards and 3 touchdowns. He could pay off as a TE2 for fantasy owners this year. Right now, neither TE is getting drafted in most leagues. Keep Tye (if he wins the job) on your waiver-wire speed dial. |

Giants | Will Tye could start Sun May 22, 01:40 PM
New York Giants TE Will Tye's pass-catching potential and athleticism make him the favorite to start at tight end in 2016 for the Giants, in the opinion of Jordan Raanan of NJ.com. TEs Larry Donnell, Matt LaCosse and Jerell Adams will also be competing.
| Footballguys view: Donnell may be listed as the starter on most depth charts right now, but that may not be the case when we get through training camp. Tye emerged last year, and his athleticism combined with solid route-running ability make him a TE2 with upside if he wins the starting job. In the final eight games of his rookie season, Tye was targeted 50 times for 34 receptions, 387 yards and 3 touchdowns. |

Giants | Larry Donnell had serious injury Tue Apr 26, 05:07 PM
New York Giants TE Larry Donnell (neck) said he had a broken bone in his neck last year to a certain extent, adding that the injury was worse than he thought.
| Footballguys view: Donnell was a top-12 fantasy TE (11th) in 2014, but last year he only played in eight games and the numbers fell off. Any neck injury is a serious injury, but it sounds like Donnell is healthy and ready to compete at a high level. We'll be interested to see if he can bounce back in 2016. |

Giants | Larry Donnell not slated for surgery Thu Dec 10, 01:07 PM
New York Giants TE Larry Donnell (neck), who was placed on the Reserve/Injured list this week, isn't expected to need surgery, according to head coach Tom Coughlin. 'Larry is a question of continuously looking at the MRI,' Coughlin said. 'There's no timetable on the other end of when, in fact, he would be healthy, so therefore, the move was made.'
| Footballguys view: The Giants are desperate for weapons so you know this is serious because if they could keep Donnell active, they would. While this doesn't change things for Odell Beckham Jr, it does make things more bleak for Eli Manning. We've seen the struggle with only Beckham Jr to lean on and the struggle is real. Manning should be fine as a QB2 against Miami but that's his ceiling with so little help from his offense. |
