Arkansas Bengal Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Chris Roling Tue, Dec 19, 2023, 6:37 PM CST·1 min read Don’t look now, but the Cincinnati Bengals have a mini-breakout going on at the tight end position as the season nears its conclusion. Tanner Hudson has been a revelation for the team this season after fighting his way onto the 53-man roster and eventually eating up snaps that were previously reserved for names like Irv Smith. And according to Pro Football Focus, Hudson has been on a tear lately, registering the best grade amongst all tight ends since Week 13 (88.6). While Hudson only has 33 catches for 298 yards and one score on the season over nine games, the overall grade speaks to his ability in other important areas, such as blocking. A veteran at the age of 29 years old, it feels like Hudson has found his role as the borderline No. 1 tight end in the offense and will be somebody the team looks to bring back next summer in free agency. https://sports.yahoo.com/tanner-hudson-continues-steady-breakout-003717669.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryker57 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 and if not , that will be 3 TEs that have left for big money .. the next Tes should pay us for being here, this seems to be the place to play TE 1 year and then go make money elsewhere LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our luck we’ll do that with Sean Brewer Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Bengals will certainly offer him a new contract but someone else might offer more. We have the worst TE group in the league and should use at least a midround draft pick on a decent TE instead of recycling other team's scraps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryker57 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Hey Hudson was another teams scraps and so was Hurst, the problem is they always seem to have to wait till the years almost done before settling on which TE on a 1 yr deal is the good one .. now watch and see .... Hudson gets signed away and to keep the TE consistent they'll sign Irv smith to a multi year deal .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking 2yrs 6mil. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicoli Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 I feel pretty confident in saying that we’ll never see Irv Smith in a Bengals uniform again once this season ends. 100% 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
