Bengals Expected to Sign Free-Agent Tight End Noah Fant
The Cincinnati Bengals are bolstering their tight end corps with a high-upside addition, as free-agent TE Noah Fant is expected to sign with the team after a productive stint with the Seattle Seahawks. While terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed, Fant’s decision comes after visits with the Saints, Dolphins, and Bengals, ultimately choosing Cincinnati as his next destination.
A first-round pick in 2019 by the Denver Broncos, Fant has shown consistent pass-catching ability throughout his career. In 2023, he recorded 48 receptions for 500 yards and one touchdown, showcasing his ability to stretch the field and provide a reliable target over the middle.
Fant’s arrival adds even more competition and talent to a crowded Bengals tight end room that includes Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Tanner McLachlan, Tanner Hudson, Kole Taylor, and Cam Grandy. With Joe Burrow at the helm and Cincinnati’s offense continuing to evolve, Fant could carve out a meaningful role, especially as a versatile receiving threat in red zone and third-down situations.
Known for his athleticism and potential mismatch capabilities, Fant brings a new dynamic to the Bengals’ offense and gives the team another veteran option as they aim for a deep playoff run in 2025.
Keep an eye out for official contract details in the coming days, but for now, it looks like Who Dey Nation is welcoming a new weapon.
