The Bengals were talking about signing another tight end even before they went out to practice Wednesday night with former Packer and Jet Bubba Franks the most well known. Head coach Marvin Lewis acknowledged that Franks "was a very good player for a long time." He's also 31 and has played in just eight games in each of the last two seasons. Source: Bengals.com
Don't do it. Do. Not. Do. It. I don't care how hecked your TE situation is, he's slower than Byron Leftwich and about all he can do is be an extra blocker in goal-line and short yardage. Just sign a OT and make him wear a number in the 80s. Same freaking difference.
