Bengals Re-Sign TE Tanner Hudson for 2025 Season

The Cincinnati Bengals are actively managing their roster, having re-signed tight end Tanner Hudson to a one-year contract extension for the 2025 season. Hudson, who has been with the Bengals since late 2022, played 11 games in 2024 and caught 19 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, the Bengals have also placed the franchise tag on wide receiver Tee Higgins, ensuring he will not enter free agency this season. Higgins, who expressed his love for Cincinnati, is set to make over $26 million this year and the team aims to negotiate a long-term contract by July 15. Additionally, the Bengals are reportedly close to bringing back star tight end Mike Gesicki, who earned his role with the team last season. These moves reflect the Bengals' strategy to retain key players while working on long-term solutions for their roster.
