CINCINNATI -- The Bengals picked up a key offensive piece late Monday night.
Tight end Irv Smith Jr. agreed to terms with the team on a one-year deal, a source confirmed to ESPN. Smith gives the Bengals a potential starting tight end for the upcoming season.
A 2019 second-round draft pick, Smith spent the first four years of his career with the Minnesota Vikings. He played in three seasons, missing the entire 2021 season with a torn meniscus.
In 2022, he caught 25 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns.
