The Cincinnati Bengals have been linked to an exciting tight end who’s approaching free agency as they gear up to possibly lose one or both of Tee Higgins or Tyler Boyd.

Both wideouts are set for free agency this offseason and will seek bigger contracts. The possibility of losing either player is indeed real, with Ja’Marr Chase also nearing an extension that should be one of the biggest priorities for the AFC side.

Should one of those receivers leave, the Bengals could consider a move for Dalton Schultz.

Per PFF’s Gordon McGuinness:

“The Bengals could lose both Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, who combined to see 165 targets in 2023, this offseason.

“Young receivers Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones could step up in their places, but the Bengals adding a talented receiving tight end could help them win in the middle of the field. Schultz proved himself to be a reliable target for the Texans this year, earning a 72.2 PFF receiving grade through the wild-card round.”
Of Higgins and Boyd, the latter would probably be the one to leave Cincy. Schultz would be a great addition if that turns out to be the case.
