Report: Bengals Not Tendering Restricted Free Agent Tight End

The Bengals are reportedly not tendering a new deal for tight end Mitchell Wilcox, who is a restricted free agent.

"The Bengals will not be tendering RFA TE Mitchell Wilcox," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero tweeted. "He caught 17 passes and a TD last season. Should have interest."

Wilcox was a solid replacement for Hayden Hurst late in the season, but Cincinnati is content with him testing the market. Hurst, Drew Sample, and Wilcox are now all 2023 free agents.

Wilcox appeared in 31 regular season games for the Bengals over the past two seasons.
