So let's play along and say the staff took a mid 4th TE to be more than a redshirt 4th TE. This could show a domino effect at WR/TE. Gesicki to me as a recieving TE will be moved around a lot, operating at times like a slot WR. Burton may come in and be our 3rd best WR and hard to keep off the field. They can even play Chase more as a weapon in the slot at times if Burton or Iosivas earn more outside reps. They basically have options if Jones doesn't improve, or great depth if he does.
So, if All is who they say he is he could give a much needed balances TE as an alternate of teams knowing Gesicki just catches and Sample just blocks. It also could point to Gesicki being more of a TE/slot hybrid. So, you may see the Bengals keep 4 TE since you could justify Hudson's worth vs a 6th WR. That's a battle to look out for. You also have to take into account the gunner and kick returner with the rule change.
