Hopefully we draft one in the 2nd or 3rd.
Basically, anyone who was OK with Uzi as TE1 should be content with Hurst as TE1.

As soon as Brady unretired I think that was off the table so Gronk can play another year with his buddy. The Bengals were never going to spend big on a TE and that's why they let Uzomah walk. TE is not a big part of the passing offense when you have Boyd, Higgins, and Chase.
Hurst is good value low risk signing especially considering after Uzomah left the next TE on the depth chart was Sample.
Probably. Gronk was just throwing out some bait in case his homie actually retired.

What a bargain. For reference, that's a little less than what the Jets will pay Uzi this year.
Then they're paying him $9.5 million in the following 2 years. Ugly deal that we were wise to avoid with Joey B and others coming up.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
