Hurst is a nice addition and only a few years removed from being a first round pick. 

Going to have a chance to come in to Cincinnati and be the top TE and have a good season.

Yep he was over shadowed by Andrews who is a top 5 TE.  Then he went to Atlanta and had a pretty good season on a somewhat bad team before they drafted Pitts who I'm sure many here recall during the great draft debate of 2021 was considered a "generational talent".    Now he gets a new start on a team that needed a TE after Uzomah and the Bengals got him for several million less that what Uzomah signed for. 

Even though it seems as far a receiving and the WR talent the Bengals have he may not be targeted often, but I hope he has a break out season.  Maybe he will be talented enough to add a solid 4th receiving threat which might open up more opportunities for the Bengals star receivers. He's only 28 and maybe this is the opportunity he needs.
