According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the reigning Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles have signed Indianapolis Colts free agent tight end Kylen Granson to a one-year deal:
Originally a 2021 4th round pick of the Colts, the 26-year-old tight end finishes his Indianapolis tenure with 86 receptions for 958 total receiving yards (11.1 ypr. avg.) and a touchdown reception during 62 career games (17 starts).

As the Colts look to revamp their tight end room with more dynamic playmakers, Granson appeared unlikely to be re-signed, and arguably was the ‘poster boy’ of an Indy position that collectively failed to generate consistent receiving position last season.
He’ll get a much needed change of scenery with the Eagles, who are open to trade talks regarding starting tight end Dallas Goedert, presumably due to salary cap constraints.
The Colts also have veteran tight end Mo Alie-Cox as a free agent, whose Indianapolis future is unclear—and may elect to join more of a realistic playoff contender next season.
However, the Colts have been heavily connected to prized Penn State tight end Tyler Warren through the mainstream NFL media, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Indianapolis targets the position early on in the upcoming NFL Draft.
