Pascoe was released by the Patriots on Monday, Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 30-year-old blocking specialist, Pascoe was always a long shot to make the final roster, as the Patriots have a slew of tight ends competing for the No. 3 job behind Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett. Pascoe has just 40 career receptions in 82 games.

The Patriots have signed Pascoe, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

With fellow tight end Clay Harbor opening training camp on the Patriots' PUP list, Pascoe adds depth at the position, be he remains off the fantasy radar, with the team still rostering Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett.

Pascoe had his contract terminated by the Bears at the end of training camp, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bears coach John Fox and his staff elected to keep the receiving-oriented Zach Miller as their backup tight end rather than Pascoe, whose best work comes as a run blocker. He'll look to land with another squad later in the season as a depth player.

The Bears have signed Pascoe. Pascoe, who caught two passes for three yards and a TD in 16 games with the Falcons in 2014, bolsters Chicago's depth at tight end, but he remains off the fantasy radar as a Bear, given his limited upside as a pass-catcher.

Pascoe's lone target went for a 1-yard touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Lions. Every pass he's caught this season has gone for a touchdown, which would be a lot more impressive if he had more than one reception on the year.

Falcons signed TE Bear Pascoe, formerly of the Giants. A pure blocker, Pascoe caught 12 passes in 16 games last season. He'll have a decent shot at cracking the 53-man roster, but as was the case in New York, will have no fantasy value.

Free agent TE Bear Pascoe is working out for the Falcons Thursday. The Falcons have not shown any sense of urgency to replace Tony Gonzalez. Kicking the tires on a mere blocker like Pascoe reinforces that. They're angling toward plenty of three- and four-wide formations this season.

The Newark Star-Ledger expects the Giants to re-sign free agent TE Bear Pascoe. A blocking specialist, Pascoe saw extensive playing time in two tight-end sets and will likely be brought back to compete for an H-back role under new OC Ben McAdoo. The Star-Ledger believes a two-year, $1.8 million deal could make sense for both sides.

The Giants will use TE Bear Pascoe at fullback if Henry Hynoski (knee surgery) isn't ready for Week 1. Hynoski will be in a race to get ready for the opener after surgery to repair a damaged left MCL and chip fracture. Lead blocker is an underrated position in Giants OC Kevin Gilbride's system, which at times looked dominant in I-formations last year with Hynoski clearing holes for Ahmad Bradshaw. New York finished the season seventh in the NFL in yards-per-carry average.

Giants re-signed TE Bear Pascoe to a one-year, $715,000 contract. Pascoe was set to become a restricted free agent on March 12. Instead, the Giants get their blocking tight end under contract cheaply for 2013. He'll provide some insurance in case Martellus Bennett walks as an unrestricted free agent.
