The Cincinnati Bengals currently don’t have any tight ends under contract for 2024. They signed the trio of Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson, and Irv Smith Jr. to short deals. Considering it was a mixed bag of success for them, it isn’t too hard to see they might be ready to overhaul the position.
It just so happens that possibly the most tight end-needy team in the NFL will have two of their most recent success stories at the position hitting the open market. That includes the Carolina Panthers releasing Hayden Hurst and the New York Jets releasing CJ Uzomah.
