The Cincinnati Bengals could attack several positions in free agency this month, one of those critical spots being tight end.
It’s not just Hayden Hurst set to hit the market, either. Joining Hurst as potential free agents are Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox, effectively wiping out the team’s depth at the position.
While the Bengals would like to have Hurst and potentially others back, it’s impossible to get a read on how things might develop before an equally-deep incoming rookie class shakes things up, too.
For now, let’s step back and take a quick look at all of the players set to enter free agency at the tight end position soon.
