Bengals re-sign TE Drew Sample to 3-year deal

The Cincinnati Bengals have brought back tight end Drew Sample on a three-year contract.

Cincinnati announced the move on Monday, not long after free agency’s legal-tampering period opened.

It’s an anticipated move for a Bengals team that spent a second-round pick on Sample and has utilized him as a key blocker in the offense. The team wants to develop more under-center and varied looks in Joe Burrow’s offense, so getting his skill set back in the fold was one of the many expected moves this offseason.

That said, the fact it’s a three-year deal is a mild surprise. Cincinnati entered that tampering period with zero tight ends on the roster, so Tanner Hudson and others could be back soon, too, before the team adds more outside veterans and/or rookies.
