Overview

  • Fant agreed to a one-year contract with the Bengals on July 31 after visits to Cincinnati, New Orleans and Miami during training camp.
  • The Seahawks released Fant on July 20 to clear $8.91 million in cap space as they pivot toward younger tight ends following the selection of Elijah Arroyo.
  • Cincinnati waived tight end Kole Taylor to open a roster spot for the former first-round pick.
  • Fant will compete for snaps in a tight end room anchored by starter Mike Gesicki and the run-focused veteran Drew Sample.
  • At 6-foot-4 and 249 pounds, the 27-year-old has amassed 300 catches for 3,305 yards and 15 touchdowns over his first six NFL seasons.
