Bengals welcome former 1st-round pick to Cincinnati as potential offensive weapon

Noah Fant is visiting.

The Cincinnati Bengals have multiple contract issues on the defensive side of the ball.

But on offense, they're still looking for ways to get better.

The Bengals are slated to host free agent tight end Noah Fant for a visit on Thursday, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

Fant was released by the Seahawks over the weekend.

He began his career with three seasons in Denver after being a first-round pick in 2019. With the Broncos, Fant caught 170 passes for 1,905 yards and 10 touchdowns.

He spent the past three seasons with the Seahawks, catching another 130 passes for 1,400 yards and five TDs.

The Bengals don't necessarily need another tight end. Their depth chart seems pretty solid with Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson, who all proved themselves useful at various points in the 2024 season.

It never hurts to get an up-close look at a talented player, though, and that's what they'll do with Fant.
