A good sign for how far the Bengals have come… Irv Smith, Jr. had multiple offers and chose to play for Cincinnati over the rest because of Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and an opportunity to win.

Key word at the end is opportunity, he will get PT at least as a TE2 in a great offense.  So, if he is healthy it's a good move for him and the only one left that made sense.  I think a lot of us wanted this health issues or not.  This is a big deal as it really opens the door for them to wait till the 3rd or 4th for TE (in a deep class) if BPA is there earlier.
