Tight end Noah Fant's search for a new team is over after signing a one-year contract with Cincinnati, the Bengals announced on Thursday. Fant's decision to choose the Bengals was anticipated earlier in the day with coach Zac Taylor hinting at the potential signing in speaking to reporters before practice.

"He gives you even more flexibility," Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said of tight end Noah Fant before practice.

Veteran tight end Noah Fant signed with the Cincinnati Bengals following his release from the Seattle Seahawks.
