For a long time, this went against the grain for what the Bengals prioritized in TE. As fantasy football grew in popularity, more and more people were clamoring for the Bengals to get a TE that could be a receiving threat. They tried with Chase Coffman, but he couldn't block worth a damn so he never saw the field. They then tried with Gresham but he was criticized for timely turnovers and mental mistakes and wasn't a truly elite receiver. Now Eifert who had the elite receiving ability but has been injured often. The Bengals just haven't been able to find that TE that can do everything well and stay healthy.
And a lot of people care about pass catching tight ends because of wide receivers not named AJ Green that cannot seem to get separation..... and it's nice to have more than one reliable target for a QB to throw to.....
