Fisher

Fisher lasted just over a month with Buffalo before getting cut this offseason. He’s trying to reinvent himself as a blocking tight end, but there hasn’t been much league interest. Fisher may need training camp injuries to strike before landing another deal.

Fisher is attempting to make the switch to tight end after four uneventful seasons at tackle with the Bengals. He just signed with Buffalo at the end of March, but he was no longer needed after the Bills added Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney in the draft and signed Lee Smith on Monday. Fisher will likely latch on as a developmental option somewhere else.

Fisher is moving from tackle to tight end in part because of the difficulty of keeping his body at 315 pounds. “I would say that’s my natural weight,” Fisher said. “I think I want to be in the low 260s, see how I feel, see how I can block, and go from there.” Fisher is expected to serve primarily as a blocker in his first season at the new position, but he believes he can become a consistent contributor in the passing game.

Fisher also worked out for Houston and Washington before committing to the Bills. The 2015 second-rounder spent the first four years of his career at tackle but will pivot to tight end in Buffalo. After throwing in the towel on underachiever Charles Clay, Bills have filled their tight end void by adding both Fisher and his former Bengals teammate, Tyler Kroft, this offseason.

Fisher already had workouts with the Texans and Washington. He’s yet to land a deal, but there’s enough interest for Fisher to eventually resurface. With Charles Clay gone, the Bills have some open spots at tight end.

Fisher left his Texans visit without a deal. He’s trying to reinvent himself as a blocking tight end despite limited snaps at the position. Fisher should land a non-guaranteed deal this offseason.

Fisher is shopping himself as a blocking tight end. He’s down to 285-pounds after playing at 305 last year. The Texans are the only team that’s been connected to Fisher.

He’s down to 285-pounds as he tries to convert into a blocking tight end. Fisher was struggling to hold his own as a swing tackle, but the add versatility could help extend his career. There’s enough name value for Fisher to get a chance somewhere this offseason. We don’t expect him to land more than a veteran minimum deal.

The Bengals’ swing tackle, Fisher was injured in Week 12 filling in for Cordy Glenn, who also has a back injury. Cincinnati re-signed longtime Bengal Andre Smith on Thursday. A 2015 second-rounder, Fisher is headed to restricted free agency with just 12 shaky career starts under his belt.

Making his first career start while filling in for the injured Cordy Glenn, Fisher was forced from the game with a back injury.
