The Cincinnati Bengals fixed their main problem in free agency by signing Ted Karras and Alex Cappa. They further aided Joe Burrow’s protection by bringing in star lineman La’el Collins.
The trio will be a huge improvement for the Bengals over their starting line a season ago. However, on top of adding linemen, the Bengals quickly fixed a need they didn’t even foreseeable a need — a starting tight end.
Cincinnati signed former Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst.
Hurst will likely battle former second-round pick Drew Sample for the starting spot as well and both have ample reason to be seen as the starter.
