...In 2024 that WR trio will lose at least 1 maybe 2 so having the TE already in place to get in rhythm and develop with Burrow would have been huge as a target to help transition away from Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. Now we have to hope Charlie Jones gets back and gets reps. 

Yep exactly.
This year, the TE would probably be the 4th option, as has been the case the past few years because of Chase, Boyd, and Higgins.
My thought is 2024 would be the best opportunity to jump into that #2/#3 option in the passing game, but it needs to be a quality pass catching TE to do that.
