Austin Hooper cut by Browns; should Bengals be interested?

With the loss of C.J. Uzomah as he leaves in free agency, the Cincinnati Bengals have a hole at the tight end spot. Drew Sample is on the roster, but has never shown enough to feel confidence in his ability to be the starting tight end.

There are still several free agents out there that could be good signings in O.J. Howard and Gerald Everett, among others. The Browns recently added to the available tight ends though, with the release of Austin Hooper.

Hooper started his career in Atlanta, where he improved every year before finishing his final year with 787 receiving yards and six scores in 2019.
