Free Agent Noah Fant Leaves Bengals Visit Without Contract

Free-agent tight end Noah Fant recently visited the Cincinnati Bengals as part of his free agency tour after being released by the Seattle Seahawks. The visit was described as positive by multiple sources, with both Fant and the Bengals expressing mutual interest and plans to stay in touch, though no contract has been signed yet. Fant, a former first-round pick by the Denver Broncos, is intrigued by the Bengals' offense led by quarterback Joe Burrow and could potentially replace Erick All Jr. in 2025, adding a valuable weapon alongside players like Ja'Marr Chase and Mike Gesicki. Despite Fant's interest and praise for Burrow, he is exploring other options and scheduled to visit the New Orleans Saints. Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase emphasized Fant's awareness of the team's schemes and potential fit, highlighting the appeal of Cincinnati's offensive system. Fant's consistent production over six NFL seasons makes him a desirable free agent, but the Bengals appear willing to wait as he evaluates his opportunities.
