Bengals Sign Veteran Tight End Noah Fant, La'el Collins Joins Cowboys

The Cincinnati Bengals have been active in free agency and training camp signings to bolster their roster for the 2025 NFL season. Veteran tight end Noah Fant, released by the Seattle Seahawks for cap reasons despite solid stats, is expected to sign with the Bengals, adding depth to an already crowded tight end room that includes Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample. The Bengals also face an opening at guard due to an injury to Lucas Patrick, with reports suggesting they may target free agent Will Hernandez, a skilled pass blocker recently cleared from a knee injury. Additionally, former Bengals offensive tackle La’el Collins has found a new chance with the Dallas Cowboys, while former Cincinnati linebacker Jared Bartlett signed a training camp deal with the Green Bay Packers. These moves highlight the Bengals' efforts to strengthen key positions, especially protecting quarterback Joe Burrow and enhancing their offensive and defensive lineups.
