He recorded five catches for 28 yards, showcasing his potential as a reliable option in the passing game.<\/p>\n<p>His primary role has been as an inline blocker, where he has performed admirably. Pro Football Focus graded him out at 65.6, making him one of the higher-rated rookie tight ends in the league.<\/p>\n<p>With Drew Sample, Erick All, and Tanner McLachlan already on the roster, Grandy&#8217;s re-signing adds valuable depth to the position.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals are also looking to the future, as Mike Gesicki and Tanner Hudson are set to become free agents in March. Grandy&#8217;s extension provides stability and allows the team to focus on other areas of need in the offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a season marked by challenges, the Cincinnati Bengals are making strategic moves to maintain their competitive edge.
