Bengals Add Noah Fant to Joe Burrow’s Loaded Offense Ahead 2024 Season

As the Cincinnati Bengals prepare for the 2025 NFL season, quarterback Joe Burrow is rallying his team for a strong comeback after missing the playoffs last year despite his career-best performance. Burrow has emphasized the importance of keeping the core offensive players together, including wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and rising star Andrei Iosivas, who has notably improved his contested catches and physicality. The Bengals also bolstered their offense by signing former Seahawks tight end Noah Fant, who is expected to add versatility alongside Mike Gesicki. However, the team faces uncertainty with defensive end Trey Hendrickson's contract situation, which Burrow publicly acknowledged as critical for the team's defensive success. Burrow’s confidence in his improved passing ability and the team's offensive depth signals a motivated Bengals squad aiming to return to playoff contention. The unresolved Hendrickson contract remains a key issue as the Bengals head into a crucial training camp period.
