Yeah it isn't a blow your socks off move, but the Bengals made a good move here and it certainly isn't "meh" in my opinion.  I mean to be honest aside from Uzomah's awesome attitude, he was a pretty "meh" TE as well.  

I mean there are still definitely better options out there (Gronk, Hooper, Everrett) but the Bengals don't need to go throwing the bag at TE. They have bigger needs which still need to be filled with quality players. 

It is what it is. Just an average player who will give you production and provides a stop gap...which is fine. He's got a cool name too.
