The Cincinnati Bengals added yet another tight end to their roster Tuesday. After losing C.J. Uzomah to the Jets in free agency last month, Cincy has added former Cowboys TE Nick Eubanks, per the team.
Cincinnati announced the move via its Twitter. However, no terms of the deal were disclosed.

Eubanks signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent out Michigan last year. But, he didn’t make the team’s 53-man roster for the regular season after six catches and 52 yards in the preseason.
After he was cut, the tight end spent time on the Lions and Eagles practice squads.
Now, Eubanks enters a crowded Bengals TE room.
Cincinnati recently signed the Falcons’ Hayden Hurst; and the team already has four other tight ends on the roster. Including: Thaddeus Moss, Drew Sample, Scotty Washington and Mitchell Wilcox.
The Bengals didn’t really utilize their TEs too much in the passing game last season. Outside of Uzomah, who caught 49 balls for 493 yards and five touchdowns, Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox were the only others to catch a pass. With 11 and three receptions respectively.
