Cincy Jungle on Tanner Hudson

Hudson faces cut risk as Bengals' tight end room stacks with young talent at full strength.

Hudson is identified as a potential cut candidate within the Cincinnati Bengals' tight end room. At 31 years old, Hudson faces competition from a stacked depth chart: Erick All Jr. (returning from 2024 ACL tear, missed all of 2025), Mike Gesicki (returning to full strength after missing four games in 2025), seventh-round draft pick Jack Endries, and young prospect Cam Grandy. The source notes that "All of these young guys have shown serious promise and most of them have the added benefit of being solid to good blockers as well," suggesting Hudson's veteran status and age work against him in a youth-focused rebuild.
