The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent tight end Clive Walford on Wednesday with Jack Doyle going on Injured Reserve, according to a source. Eric Ebron, Mo Alie-Cox and Erik Swoope are all banged up, so Walford will give the team some depth and insurance. Walford hasn't played at all in 2018 and had just nine catches for 80 yards in 13 games with the Raiders in 2017. He's unlikely to see game action.
The Cincinnati Bengals worked out free-agent tight end Clive Walford on Tuesday, according to a source. The Bengals lost Tyler Eifert (ankle) for the year in Week 4 and Tyler Kroft (foot) was banged up in Week 5, so the Bengals want some more depth behind C.J. Uzomah moving forward. It's unclear how much time Kroft might be forced to miss, but Walford is unlikely to make any fantasy noise even if he signs.
The New York Jets cut tight end Clive Walford after attempting to trade him and finding no takers, according to sources. The Jets are going with Eric Tomlinson, Jordan Leggett, Neal Sterling and rookie Chris Herndon IV at the position. Nobody from this group is fantasy relevant.
New York Jets tight end Clive Walford racked up two receptions for 25 yards, including a 19-yard catch, in Thursday's preseason loss in Washington. He led all of the team's tight ends statistically, really helping his stock. The former standout at the University of Miami and ex-Oakland Raiders pass catcher, was buried on the unofficial depth chart behind Eric Tomlinson, Jordan Leggett, Neal Sterling and Chris Herndon IV. However, Walford took advantage of his opportunities and is likely to ascend pass some of the underachievers ahead of him. It wouldn't be terribly shocking to not only see Walford rise, but eventually settle into the starting job among this mish-mash of tight ends. He shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar right now, but it's a situation worth monitoring.
The New York Jets claimed tight end Clive Walford off waivers from the Oakland Raiders on Monday. With Austin Seferian-Jenkins signing with the Jaguars in free agency, New York was looking for a new tight end, as their only other tight end on the roster were Eric Tomlinson and Jordan Leggett. Walford had just nine catches for 80 yards in 13 games for Oakland last year and was passed up by Jared Cook. Walford could be the team's top pass-catching tight end in 2018, but with the quarterback situation unsettled, he'll be a fantasy backup, at best.
The Oakland Raiders are releasing tight end Clive Walford, according to a source. The former third-round pick is expected to find a new home in short order. Walford played in 13 games last year and had a career-low nine receptions for 80 yards and no touchdowns. It's unlikely that he'll land somewhere that will give him fantasy relevance heading into next season.
The Oakland Raiders placed tight end Clive Walford (concussion, neck) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and promoted tight end Pharoah Brown to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move, according to a team spokesman. Walford had only nine catches for 80 yards and no scores in 2017 and was never on the fantasy radar as the third tight end in Oakland.
