The Cincinnati Bengals want to get out of this cycle with tight ends where they have a new one every season. Ever since CJ Uzomah’s departure, we have seen a new starting tight end on a one-year deal.
It started with Hayden Hurst two seasons ago, Irv Smith Jr. last year, and Mike Gesicki set for that spot this upcoming season. One way to get out of that cycle is by drafting a tight end and developing them. That is where it appears the Bengals are doing their homework.
They recently met with a projected Day 3 pick with South Carolina/Arkansas tight end Trey Knox the night before his Pro Day.
