The Cincinnati Bengals improved a lot of their roster over this past offseason, adding defensive end depth, safety and cornerback depth while improving the offensive line.
However, one position that it could be argued got worse, or at minimum didn’t get much better, is tight end.
The Bengals swapped out fan favorite C.J. Uzomah for a cheaper option in Hayden Hurst, who is backed up by former second round pick Drew Sample and whoever of the uninspiring remaining players sticks on the roster. On top of that, neither of Sample or Hurst are under contract beyond 2022, making this a clear need for the Bengals going forward.
