Boyd is the Bengals slot WR and isn't very good on the outside, so where do you play Reynolds? Guy is supposed to get $5-6 mil a year. Do you spend that money on a decent G or a backup for Boyd?1.) He isn't a slot guy not sure where you are getting that from. He might not be the fastest guy out there but he does have the length and Jumping ability to make plays down the field.
2.) He literally jas been in the same system that we run for 4 years. He has familiarity with this offense and Zac.
3.) I wouldn't spend 6 million on him but I would spend 4 million on him on a 1 year deal.

This offense isn't designed to feature the TE as a down field weapon. This team needs OL and skill players to fill specific roles in the offensive scheme. I'm not really counting on Zac Taylor to have an epiphany, and suddenly decide to redesign his entire offense.The role of a coach is get his or her system to fit the players. If Zac can't figure out a way to utilize a generational Talent then he isn't worth having here long term.
A guy with Pitts Athleticism should be able to fit any system. He is more like a WR then pure TE anyways.

We have 2 Wrs on the Roster right now! We need to add a veteran in the mix along with a rookie. Plus Rookie WRs tend to take Time getting used to the NFL it would be smart to add a veteran WR that has experience in the system.
