Manhertz will undergo surgery Thursday to address ligament ruptures in one of his fingers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Manhertz presumably suffered the injury to his finger during Sunday's game at Philadelphia. His next chance to play will come in 2025, and he wraps up this season with three catches for 30 yards and a touchdown on four targets.
The Giants have agreed to terms with Manhertz, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. Manhertz, who turns 32 next month, has logged a total of 26 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns over the course of 120 games since entering the NFL in 2016. While the 6-foot-6, 235-pounder is off the fantasy radar, he does offer value as a blocker and can contribute on special teams. In any case, Manhertz, along with fellow newcomer Jack Stoll, bolsters the Giants' depth at tight end with top pass-catching option Darren Waller considering retirement.
The Broncos released Manhertz on Friday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. After appearing in 16 of the Broncos' games in 2023, the team has decided to part ways with Manhertz. The veteran tight end has also spent time with Carolina, Jacksonville and New Orleans throughout his eight-year NFL career. He's now set to hit the open market after playing a total of 453 snaps last season (367 offensive and 86 on special teams).
