Not that the Bengals needed more offense but they're signing former 1st round pick, TE Noah Fant.
He should fill the All Jr role pretty well.
Fant is a solid #2 TE. He's not a great blocker. But is a decent receiving threat if used properly.
The Hawks drafted Elijah Arroyo, the TE out of Miami. They have two young TE's they like a lot (Arroyo & Barner). So, there wasn't much of a role for him based on what he was projected to earn.
Fant has kind of been underwhelming based on where he was drafted. Hasn't lived up to the expectations of being a former 1st round pick. Which is why Denver was willing to include him in the Wilson deal. But he's not a bad player.
I have high expectations for Cincinnati this year. There bad a.s man.
Maybe? That defense has to get much better.
Adding a guy like Fant doesn't move the needle. He's just a guy.
