Brandon Tate never quite learned how to be a receiver in New England, but he was a solid return guy.
Those skills can now be used in Cincinnati. Mike Florio reports via a league source that the Bengals have claimed him.
We haven’t heard the corresponding move as of yet, but expect to see a lot of waiver wire transactions in the coming hours.
