Royer is a future-depth note for now. The club invested in a young tight-end group, but the NFI designation makes his first 2026 priority availability rather than a projected early offensive role.
Strengths: Drafted developmental player in a system that values multiple-tight-end packages and has a clear path once available.
Weaknesses: Reserve/NFI designation delays his season, while Fannin and the active tight ends will establish the early rotation.
