The Cincinnati Bengals know they can compete in the AFC. In 2024, the Bengals finished 9-8 and missed the postseason. They may have made the playoffs if the team hadn’t started 1-4.
Recently, the Bengals signed a free agent TE who will bring value to the team in 2025. Noah Fant was released by the Seahawks on July 20. On the last day of the month, Fant signed a one-year deal with the Bengals. He’ll join a crowded TE room, but Cincinnati did release TE Kole Taylor. The 2025 season will be Fant’s seventh season in the NFL.
