One awful play ruined Bengals free agent's chances to return next year

The Cincinnati Bengals have some tough decisions to make in free agency this offseason, but one just got a lot easier.

Noah Fant was believed to be a good late addition to the roster before the season began. However, the former first-round pick seemingly can't hold onto the football to an uncanny degree.

Sometimes the new calendar year can be a time to bring about new habits. Apparently the carryover of Fant's ball-carrying issue was not left in 2025. He coughed the ball up again on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, leading to the Paycor Stadium visitors' second consecutive defensive TD.
