Yelder joins an already loaded tight ends group that includes Logan Thomas, Marcus Baugh, Temarrick Hemingway, Dylan Cantrell, Tyrone Swoopes, Sammis Reyes and fourth-round pick John Bates.
Stephens, 26, went undrafted in 2018 (Cincinnati) and bounced around on the practice squads of the Saints, Rams, Broncos and Seahawks before earning roster spots with the Dolphins and Seahawks, in 2019 and 2020, respectively. He has six total tackles in 16 career games the past two seasons.
