Even as the Cincinnati Bengals are locked in a contract dispute with star defensive end Trey Hendrickson, the front office has proven to be on the lookout for skill position players that can help Joe Burrow compete with the rest of the elite teams in the AFC.
The Seattle Seahawks made one such player available when they parted ways with tight end Noah Fant. Despite visiting teams that could offer him more targets, Fant appeared ready to join what Burrow and the rest of this team are building.
Fant is expected to sign a contract with the Bengals, immediately competing for ownership of the starting job.
