Major Outlet Names Texans Wide Receiver as Bengals Free Agent Fit

Pro Football Focus's Brad Spielberger named Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown as a potential addition for the Bengals in free agency.

Cincinnati has Charlie Jones in line to take on the slot wide receiver role for Tyler Boyd, but Brown is another option.

"If the Bengals let Tyler Boyd depart in free agency, they still may have in-house replacements with 2023 rookies Charlie Jones and Andrei Iosivas," Spielberger wrote. "But Brown is a big-bodied inside/outside replacement who did very well this season to get open for C.J. Stroud on broken plays, which makes him a good fit with Joe Burrow who maximizes the scramble drills as well as anyone. Tampa, unfortunately, lost Russell Gage to another injury before the 2023 season, and even if they do retain Mike Evans, a solid No. 4 option behind Evans, Godwin and rookie Trey Palmer makes sense."

Brown tore up the Bengals in the 2023 matchup against Houston and he totaled 33 catches for 567 yards and two touchdowns this past season.

He ranked 18th leaguewide with 17.2 yards per catch.
