Wilcox will hit the market as an unrestricted free agent. Free to sign with any team, the former undrafted free agent could draw some interest after going for 17-139-1 in a limited role last season. During his time at South Florida, Mitchell became the all-time leader in receptions (100), receiving yards (1,326), and receiving touchdowns (11) by a tight end.

Wilcox ran a pass route on 24 of Joe Burrow's 38 drop backs against Cleveland but was not involved in the passing attack. Wilcox should be the team's No. 1 tight end while Hayden Hurst is sidelined with a calf injury. Wilcox can remain on waiver wires outside 32-team fantasy leagues.
