July 31 (UPI) -- The Cincinnati Bengals agreed to sign tight end Noah Fant, his agency, Athletes First, confirmed Thursday. Fant, who spent last season with the Seattle Seahawks, is expected to sign a one-year deal.
The Bengals also announced Thursday they waived tight end Kole Taylor.
"He gives you even more flexibility," Bengals coach Zac Taylor told reporters Thursday, when asked about Fant's potential signing. "You've got a player that's really a plus player in both the run and the pass.
"So, at the point of the attack, backside blocking and protection can help you, but also really explosive as a receiver. ... Great size, great explosiveness, really good hands, tough to bring down. I think that's another weapon."
