TE O.J. Howard Signs With Texans, Not Bengals, As Cincinnati Claims Former Patriots TE Off Waivers

It was reported on Wednesday, and relayed by us accordingly, that the Cincinnati Bengals were bringing in former first-round tight end O.J. Howard with the intention of signing him. He signed with the Houston Texans yesterday, having never made that visit.

It’s not clear if he canceled the visit himself or if the team did, but the Bengals ended up being awarded tight end Devin Asiasi off of waivers from the New England Patriots. As Jeremy Fowler noted on Twitter for ESPN, “talks fell through” between the two parties, resulting in there never being a visit in the first place.
