This year he played in over 650 snaps for Seattle yet his stats are similar to Hudson who played in around only 260 snaps, Hudson was the better player this year when you compare them.
Now if we can get a cheap contract like the last two TEs (Hurst and Smith) maybe, but I actually prefer signing Hudson for less and draft a TE if we find one of value in 3/4th round.
Fant was recommended by the Poster in Post #2 of this Thread.
I simply looked up Fant's Stats with a Wikipedia Search & liked the fact that he had 3 seasons in the 562 to 673 yard range
in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Being only 26 years old, he may be able to put Stats like that up again with Burrow; so I gave Poster #2 some support on Fant.
Wikipedia shows 11 games started & 11 games played but I see that ESPN is showing more games played & yards in 2023.
Hayden Hurst had 414 yards in 2022 and most Fans loved him. Fant may be able to match or beat Hurst's yardage totals.
With that said, the Price Tag verses other options may lead to a Non Fant Bengals Tight End decision as you imply.
My Post #1 was about Tyler Boyd. By Post #2 I'm talking about another Poster's guy, Fant who may be a good option or not.
I am remaining open minded all the way through Free Agency & the Draft on most everything.
