CJ was more productive with ball in hand than hurst basically his whole career, so again from an efficiency standpoint he was more productive but not at a level that doesn’t make him replaceable. The Bengals are still in for a TE in the draft because Hurst is not viewed as a long term fix.
As to who they wanted, I know for a fact they wanted CJ back and offered him a deal that was under the Jets but not quite as much as people think.
They offered him 7 million but not sure if it was 3 years or not. Zac was disappointed they lost him. Not because he felt we should have matched it or that he didn’t take it just in general. Just that it didn’t work out.
