The Cincinnati Bengals have landed Noah Fant.
After Fant took a surprise visit to Cincinnati when training camp first opened, the former Seahawks and Broncos starter then made trips to see the Dolphins and Saints before deciding the Queen City is where he’d take his talents for the 2025 NFL season.
In 95 career regular-season games, Fant has caught 300 passes on 419 targets for 3,305 yards (11.0 avg) and 15 touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 249-pounder will bring some added firepower to an offense that already
features Joe Burrow throwing to the likes of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Fant will now compete with Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample for a starting tight end spot, making this one of the deepest positions on the roster.
Here’s how Twitter celebrated the big news!
Can confirm #Bengals expected to sign former Seahawks TE Noah Fant.

Both sides were thrilled after his visit, but Fant wanted to weigh all options.
Hard to get past linking up with Joe Burrow. He fills out a YAC skill set lacking in the room, upgrades Tanner Hudson spot.
BENGALS GET NOAH FANT!!!!!!

The #Bengals really wanted to get this done with Noah Fant, who visited recently and will fill a multifaceted role within the offense.

His presence will be a bonus for Mike Gesicki as well, whose versatility will also allow him to play as a big slot. https://t.co/C3p2tUyKGx

Likely a 1-year deal, but Fant with CIN is a nice fit. Will rebuild his value with Burrow.

Now on to the Hendrickson extension and signing another Guard. https://t.co/Okepqgw5UW
Remember in 2023 when Bengals fans were upset about the pass catchers not being athletes out of Ja’Marr. Well, this team got the message loud & clear. pic.twitter.com/P12Nfq02ni

Noah Fant kinda reminds me of Jermaine Gresham.

At times looks unstoppable and at other times you’re wondering how to really get the most out of the potential.
Playing with Burrow should do just that.
We’ve campaigned for things like this .

I was the biggest Mike Gesicki & Noah Fant advocate because these are dudes who’ve been misused and have been made out to be as if they are average .
We saw what Gesicki did his first year with Cincinnati.
This is a huge get for the… https://t.co/YzyUJyz9RL
