Scores on lone target Hollister caught a one-yard touchdown during Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Titans.
Impact Hollister played only 15 offensive snaps but cashed in on his lone target with the one-yard score during the second quarter. Trade acquisition Dan Arnold has cemented himself atop the depth chart at tight end since being acquired from Carolina, while Hollister, Chris Manhertz and Luke Farrell continue to split snaps as depth options.

Totals 15 yards on six targets Hollister caught two of six targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact The 27-year-old led Jacksonville's tight ends by playing 68 percent of the offensive snaps, and he ended up having two of his targets intercepted, including one that was a clear drop. It was Hollister's first game action of the season after signing with the Jags in early September, and his audition for the starting role didn't go particularly well. Dan Arnold was acquired from the Panthers on Monday and should be in the mix to start at tight end with James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) on injured reserve for the foreseeable future.

Joining Jacksonville Hollister agreed to a contract with the Jaguars on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 27-year-old spent camp with the Bills and was unable to make the season-opening roster, and he'll now receive an opportunity with the Jags. Jacksonville has a weak group of tight ends with Chris Manhertz, James O'Shaughnessy and Luke Farrell, so Hollister could carve out a role in the offense with a strong showing at practice early on.

Cut loose by Bills Hollister was released by the Bills on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The Bills failed to bring in a higher-profile addition at tight end this offseason before giving Hollister a one-year contract with only $137,5000 guaranteed. Dawson Knox remains the team's top tight end and lone receiving threat at the position, with Buffalo likely using some four-wide sets to mitigate the impact of a weak TE group.

Heading to Buffalo Hollister is signing a one-year contract with the Bills, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Hollister had a few weeks of fantasy relevance in 2019 after injuries cleared out Seattle's TE depth, but he's otherwise been a backup for most of his pro career. The 27-year-old will at least have a shot to earn playing time in Buffalo, where Dawson Knox is the returning starter at what's arguably the weakest position on an otherwise excellent roster. Knox is bigger, faster and younger, but Hollister arguably has better hands and a better feel for route running.

Scores three times in 2020 Hollister finished the 2020 season with 25 receptions for 209 yards and three touchdowns over 16 games.
Impact Hollister was targeted five times in the 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams, but he failed to haul in a pass. The 27-year-old finished third among Seahawks' tight ends in terms of offensive snaps, as Will Dissly led the bunch while Greg Olsen trailed closely. However, Hollister led the group in receptions and touchdowns. The Wyoming product is set to be an unrestricted free agent in March, but the Seahawks likely will try to bring him back, especially because Olsen's stint in Seattle is likely over. Colby Parkinson also didn't show enough in his rookie season to be depended on yet. Hollister likely would see an uptick in usage in 2021 if he returns and the Seahawks don't bring in another tight end.
