I hope Bengals would stick with a good TE when they get one.  I liked Hurst a lot.  I thought he gave us a Kelce or Kittle type TE.   Geseki makes 4 TE changes in 4 years.  I do not think the revolving door of TE each year is the way.  I do not see Chiefs or 49ers changing TE each year.  If this Geseki does great, I hope Bengals keep him and are not back looking for TE every single off season. 

Sure, but if Gesicki does well, he probably moves on to greener pastures. He got over 10 million one year for Miami. He's getting a maximum of 3.25 million for the Bengals. If he does well, he will move on like Hurst and Uzomah. Bengals need to get a good TE on a rookie contract.
