If you can't get one of those 5, I would probably just roll with re-signing Uzomah. Not sure anyone else would be enough of an upgrade to offset the continuity and locker room aspect of Uzomah.

Also some good options.

Dalton Schultz is probably the closest to Uzomah from a skillset standpoint.
He also had the challenge of having a bunch of other weapons around him, but he's good as a 3rd or 4th option.
He got more opportunities than Uzomah got because the Bengals WRs stayed healthy nearly all year whereas the Cowboys WRs didn't.

With Ertz, you're dealing with a TE who is 31 years old, just a year younger than Gronk.
Probably fine though if you're pushing your championship window.

I'd like to see Gesicki added, but he'd have to potentially be willing to see less production than he had at MIA.

I've cooled on Engram. He's not been as productive as a pass catcher recently like he was as a rookie, plus he's also not much of a blocker.

I still personally really like OJ Howard. He's about to enter his prime years (JUST turned 27 in Nov), he's a good blocker, and he's shown he can be a dynamic receiving TE if given opportunity. Runs a 4.51 at 250 lbs. He's had to compete against Brate and then also Gronk in TB.
He could be a perfect fit, and also could end up being one of the cheaper TEs.
