The contract details on Irv Smith to the Cincinnati Bengals are out.
Smith, a former University of Alabama standout, signed a one-year deal with the Bengals. He spent four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings (2019-22) after getting selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Field Yates of ESPN reports that Smith’s deal is worth $1.75 million at base value. He has a chance to make the maximum of $2 million in this offense.
New Bengals TE Irv Smith Jr.’s 1-year deal is for a base value $1.75M, with the chance to make a maximum of $2M, per source.
Nice value for Cincinnati and a really good spot for Smith to play a useful role in a high-octane passing offense.

Smith will share the stage with Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, and Joe Mixon in catching passes from Joe Burrow.
