The Bengals inked Grandy to a one-year contract extension Tuesday.
Grandy suited up for eight regular-season games as an undrafted rookie with Cincinnati, in which span he secured all five of his targets for 28 yards. Down the stretch, the former practice-squad player managed to carve out a consistent depth role. He's now earned an opportunity to continue his development in the Bengals' tight end corps heading into the 2025 season.

Bengals' Cam Grandy: Goes without target in Week 14
Rotowire
Grandy played 17 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.
One of four tight ends active for Cincinnati, Grandy finished third in the group in playing time, ahead of Tanner Hudson (14 snaps) but behind Drew Sample (49) and Mike Gesicki (20). Grandy has drawn just one target across his 29 offensive snaps over his four games this season and will likely continue to have a muted role if all of Sample, Gesicki and Hudson stay healthy.

Cam Grandy: Sent to waivers
Rotowire
The Bengals waived Grandy on Tuesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Grandy could be a candidate to continue his development in Cincinnati as a member of the practice squad, should he go unclaimed on waivers. The UDFA out of Illinois State showcased some upside as a pass-catching tight end during his final collegiate season, in which he put up a 63-612-3 stat line through the air.
