The Cincinnati Bengals’ tight end room has been a revolving door for quarterback Joe Burrow as of late. The start of this offseason assured us we would see a new starter at the position after Hayden Hurst landed with the Carolina Panthers.
It took a while, but Cincinnati ultimately ended up landing Irv Smith Jr. to a very affordable one-year deal that could very well continue the cycle of Burrow getting his tight end paid.
However, there has been some doubt as to whether Smith should be propped up as the next weapon to be added to Cincinnati’s fantastic list of skill players.
