Wilcox signed a one-year deal with the Bengals on Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wilcox appeared in 15 games for the Bengals last year, but the majority of his snaps came on special teams. Across 81 offensive snaps, the 25-year-old tight end caught three of five targets for 16 yards. He figures to garner a similar role in 2022, as Cincinnati's tight-end room remains essentially the same after swapping C.J. Uzomah -- who signed with the Jets this offseason -- for Hayden Hurst.
Mitchell Wilcox Makes three grabs in 2021
Wilcox secured three of five targets for 16 yards across 15 appearances in 2021.
Analysis: Wilcox logged the first NFL action of his career for Cincinnati in 2021, and he's scheduled to become an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason. The Bengals could opt to keep Wilcox around and allow him to continue developing in the same system.
