There's one glaring need on the Cincinnati Bengals' roster. 

Replacing Samaje Perine at running back and finding a solution to a fluid right tackle situation are important, but the Bengals have pretty much nothing at tight end right now.

No offense, Devin Asiasi.

The Bengals expected to lose Hayden Hurst. They were never in the market to pay a soon-to-be 30-year old $13 million guaranteed over the course of the next three years. Hurst became one of the few tight ends this offseason to actually cash in on the market, while fellow veterans Mike Geisicki and Dalton Schultz settled for one-year prove-it deals.

As a whole, the tight end market is down bad due to the upcoming NFL Draft class, which features plenty of early-round options. The Bengals will be selecting one of those options when it's all said and done, but not before the add a veteran to join Asiasi in the position room.

That veteran should be Foster Moreau, and it's bizarre it hasn't happened by now.

Moreau, a fifth-year player formerly of the Las Vegas Raiders, took a visit to Cincinnati late last week on the day the team agreed to terms with safety Nick Scott. A day later, he spent time back home in Louisiana visiting the New Orleans Saints and the only NFL quarterback he's ever known, Derek Carr.

Cincinnati signing Moreau makes sense not only because of his former college quarterback, Joe Burrow, he's also the last player who'd be worth a multi-year deal under the age of 30. The former fourth-round pick spent the last four years behind Darren Waller while with the Raiders. 

Moreau may not have eye-popping production to put on his resume, but the athleticism and youth he possesses combined with the skillset he rarely got to show out West makes him a prime candidate to break out on a second contract. That's exactly the kind of player the Bengals have successfully recruited for the past three years.

Trey Hendrickson, Chidobe Awuzie, and Mike Hilton are just a few examples of formerly unheralded players who have developed into legitimate core pieces for Cincinnati. Whether they didn't get opportunities on their original teams, or they weren't even wanted to return, they joined the Bengals and improved their careers because of it.

As it happens, it doesn't seem like the Raiders want Moreau back. They've now signed two free agent tight ends in O.J. Howard and, most recently, Austin Hooper. Moreau is still out there for the taking, and the Bengals have the ideal spot for him.

If they don't sign Moreau, or any veteran tight end worth starting, it'll make the Draft much more difficult. Cincinnati will undoubtedly be targeting the position in the first round just to get a competent body to play 50 snaps a game. Situations where the franchise has been locked into one position late in the first round has not ended well. Look no further than Billy Price in 2018.

Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson writes that the team is still on the lookout to sign "a veteran to pair with a rookie at tight end" before they fully transition towards the Draft. It would mark the official closing act of the free agency period for the team.

It needs to happen soon, and Moreau fits the bill more than anyone else.
