Dalton Schultz is probably the closest to Uzomah from a skillset standpoint.
He also had the challenge of having a bunch of other weapons around him, but he's good as a 3rd or 4th option.
He got more opportunities than Uzomah got because the Bengals WRs stayed healthy nearly all year whereas the Cowboys WRs didn't.

With Ertz, you're dealing with a TE who is 31 years old, just a year younger than Gronk.
Probably fine though if you're pushing your championship window.

I'd like to see Gesicki added, but he'd have to potentially be willing to see less production than he had at MIA.

I've cooled on Engram. He's not been as productive as a pass catcher recently like he was as a rookie, plus he's also not much of a blocker.

I still personally really like OJ Howard. He's about to enter his prime years (JUST turned 27 in Nov), he's a good blocker, and he's shown he can be a dynamic receiving TE if given opportunity. Runs a 4.51 at 250 lbs. He's had to compete against Brate and then also Gronk in TB.
He could be a perfect fit, and also could end up being one of the cheaper TEs.

Yeah, I have no problem with Gronk or Ertz because getting back to the SB in 2022 should be the goal.

I think Engram is a huge buy-low bounceback candidate. He had to catch passes from Daniel Jones, Mike Glennon, and Jake Fromm in 2021 (15 combined passing TDs). The #1 receiver for the Giants this year had 521 yards. In 2020, he had to catch passes from Daniel Jones and Colt McCoy (12 combined passing TDs), and Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard were the #1 and #2 WRs.

Howard might be a good add. I think he got shafted a bit by the Bucs adding Gronk and Brown. Evans, Godwin, Gronk, Brown... not much production left to divvy up after those 4.
