Grandy played in 13 games, making seven starts, over the past two seasons for the Bengals, totaling seven catches for 35 receiving yards.
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Cam Grandy (85) catches a pass during the Cincinnati Bengals Training Camp 2026 at Kettering Practice Field in Cincinnati on Thursday, July 30, 2026.
"He (is) just somebody we can rely on, somebody we've got a lot of trust in," Taylor said of Grandy. "He was really a make-it roster guy for us and it just, we were so deep at a lot of spots. We can't keep nine tight ends, as much as we wanted to."

"So he's kind of always been a guy we viewed as a roster guy and this year just didn't work out and that was a really tough one for us," Taylor continued. "And so to get him back, I think is really critical because he's somebody we've always felt like was a part of this thing and so happy to get him back and he's gonna help us."
Grandy signed with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL Draft.
