That is a great value contract.

Awesome job FO

Still plenty of money left to extend Trey already in 2025 cap

Yep it's a great deal and a quality signing. I'd say it's probably my favorite signing of an outside FA this year. Close 2nd for Slaton.

Shockingly low price to sign him. Good job.

Savvy move by the organization. All for it!

Noah Fant spoke with the media ahead of tonight's practice and is looking forward to working with Joe Burrow and being a part of this #Bengals offense. pic.twitter.com/yqgjOUehvD

Me, too. Those 2 plus Patrick and Burks are the outside FA's who will see the most snaps. And the only ones who could start. Slaton will for sure, but he will be a 2 down guy often times. Knight might be the same. I could see more of Burks/Carter on 3rd. Or another DB. Perine at RB2 if he beats Brooks out. 

I think Fant will be the "starter" at TE, or at least the guy who gets the most snaps.

Well...don't be surprised if they work Fant into more snaps as the season goes on. I have a hard time believing they'll put him in front of Sample--be nice if they did--from the get go. That's not how they usually do things...but i guess we'll see.

We will see how they do this year, I would like Noah for more than just one year, I don't think he has sniffed his potential in the NFL.

Love those Iowa TE's, they know how to play football and Noah Fant is an athlete.

Im guessing our offer wasn't beaten by enough and he chose to bet on himself this year. We've gotten TEs paid recently so its a smart bet in that regard.
