Bengals to host UFL offensive player of the year on free-agent visit

The Cincinnati Bengals will host one of the biggest-name free agents possible this time of year on a visit this week by bringing in former NFL wideout Hakeem Butler.

Butler, the reigning UFL Offensive Player of the Year, led the league in receiving last year with 652 yards.

A fourth-rounder in 2019, Butler bounced around the NFL for a few years and most recently had a stint last summer with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
