Smart move by Gesicki grabbing the chance to catch the ball from Burrow.

Bengals signing TE Mike Gesicki

Season high was 36 yards in a game last year. And his receiving is his only strong suit. There were multiple better options out there.

I went ahead and edited the title with the spelling you provided, as not all members are aware of how to edit thread titles. Typically we don't hammer each other too hard over spelling errors, but I went ahead and fixed it since he is a brand new member of the Bengals. In Pally's defense, the way she spelled it was the same way Shefty had spelled on the twix account posting. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

I think Bengals had him to a one year contract to see if he would fit in, and he did not. So a TE was needed, and so now Bengals add this Penn State TE who has played for Miami and New England. Hopefully he is more like adding Hurst in 2022 than adding Smith in 2023. Sure, but if Gesicki does well, he probably moves on to greener pastures. He got over 10 million one year for Miami. He's getting a maximum of 3.25 million for the Bengals. If he does well, he will move on like Hurst and Uzomah. Bengals need to get a good TE on a rookie contract.

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

That (bolded) is true, but that doesn't mean that the Bengals aren't genuinely interested in keeping Gesicki around, either. This could be a "prove it" deal, and if things go well they may be conducive to signing him to a better paying 2-3 year deal. He's only what, 28? It's not like he's a RB with 150K miles on the tires.

Just remember Gesicki had Mac Jones throwing to him at New England. Having Joe Burrow throwing is a whole different world.

Solid pick up and not saying the Bengals don't draft a TE still if the right one is there but they don't have to reach now if the right opportunity does not present itself either. Plus keeps their hand hidden on draft day at this position.
Revolving door ? Possibly, but with all the holes that need filled that may be necessary too. Think it gives the Bengals flexibility and like it. The water tastes funny when you're far from your home, yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam. Roam the Jungle !

I feel he has the most talent of any TE we signed hated Irv Smith wasn't crazy about Hurst either was more of a product of Burrow.

But in his 2 healthy years he got Uzomah and Hurst 2 of the best years in their careers. If you were a TE would you rather Zappe/ Jones throwing to you or Joe Burrow? ![[Image: bfine-guns2.png]](https://i.ibb.co/YBkDQJV/bfine-guns2.png)

You can even line Gesicki up where Boyd did and have Sample out there to protect as well. Gesicki gives us versatility.

Hurst was ineffective down the field and nothing much this past season until Hodson with Browning..

Gesicki came to Cincinnati because of the positive things told to him by Teddy Karras and BFF Nick Bowers.
but he also said they could have said it was a horrible place but #9 was worth coming for. JoeyB reached out to him on Tuesday Winning makes believers of us all
