"He gives you even more flexibility," Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said of tight end Noah Fant before practice.

Veteran tight end Noah Fant signed with the Cincinnati Bengals following his release from the Seattle Seahawks.

Fant, 27, will bring a veteran presence and some proven production to the Bengals' tight end room. The former first-round pick has hit 500 yards receiving in four of his six seasons. Last year with the Seahawks, Fant caught 48 passes for 500 yards and one touchdown.
