Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Wilkening notes, the move appears to be the latest in a series the Bengals have made to keep the core of their special teams together. The Bengals have re-signed punter Kevin Huber and placekicker Mike Nugent and have agreed to bring back cornerback /punt returner Adam Jones. The 25-year-old Tate returned 32 kickoffs for 795 yards (24.8 yards per return) in 2012. He appeared in all 16 games and made three starts at wideout, catching 13 passes for 211 yards and one touchdown. Tate was a third-round pick of the Patriots in 2009 (No. 83). He has played the last two seasons with the Bengals, joining Cincinnati not long before the 2011 regular-season opener.
