Cowboys Claimed TE Zack Kuntz Off Of Waivers

In a corresponding move, the team placed TE Princeton Fant on the reserve/injured list.

Kuntz, 26, is a former third-round pick by the Jets in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Old Dominion. He signed a four-year, $4 million rookie contract, but was among New York’s final roster cuts as a rookie. 

He bounced on and off the Jets’ practice squad in 2023 and 2024. New York released him, once again, coming out of the preseason in August. The Dolphins signed Kuntz to a contract in February before cutting him loose shortly after the draft. 

From there, he signed with the Raiders in August but was waived a few days later.

For his career, Kuntz appeared in two games for the Jets but hasn’t recorded any stats.
