CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals have re-signed veteran tight end Reggie Kelly, who had become an unrestricted free agent on March 5th.
The Bengals on Thursday day re-signed veteran tight end Reggie Kelly.
Kelly, 33 and a 12th-year NFL player in 2010, has a lot of experience and holds a lot of respect in the organization, so bringing him back looks like a good move if his health problems are behind him.
Kelly joined the Bengals in 2003 as an unrestricted free agent from Atlanta and played in 90 games with 86 starts from 2003-08 with Cincinnati. He has played in 152 games with 133 starts and has caught 184 passes for 1718 yards and five touchdowns.
Kelly also provides intangibles to the locker room and brings a strong blocking presence when healthy. Reggie tore his Achilles tendon last summer during camp. By signing Kelly the Bengals have a mentor for first-round pick Jermaine Gresham and last season draft pick Chase Coffman.
