According to Tom Pelissero, the Bengals won’t tender a contract to restricted free agent TE Mitchell Wilcox, making him a free agent.
Wilcox, 26, signed on with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of South Florida back in 2019. He was among Cincinnati’s final roster cuts coming out of training camp and quickly re-signed to their practice squad.
Wilcox was activated for the final game of the 2020 season but recorded no statistics. He failed to make the Bengals’ 53-man roster in 2021 and was placed on the practice squad before eventually being added to the active roster. Cincinnati re-signed to a one-year deal last offseason.
In 2022, Wilcox appeared in 16 games and recorded 17 receptions on 18 targets, recording 139 receptions (8.2 YPC) and one touchdown.
