Schreck has also been here a couple years now to learn and adapt.  You start all over with a rookie draft pick and we have so many more glaring needs before TE:  Tackle, Guard, LB, LB, LB, and LB.  

True on TJ, but the Bengals also invested early-round picks on Peter Warrick (Rd 1 2000) and Chad Johnson (Rd 2 2001). Darnay Scott was also still there and only 29 years old. They didn’t go in expecting Housh to amount to anything and avoid the position because of it.

I’m not saying to cut Schreck, just saying he’s not really done anything on the field in the NFL yet to warrant only going into the season with him and maybe one of Kroft or Uzomah. That 2017 was loaded with TEs too and the Bengals didn’t pounce on any until 7th comp pick...Shame they didn’t go for Howard, Njoku, or Engram in rd 1 or even Kittle as late as rd 4.
