double griddy is on the menu

"Up to" = good value on basically a big slot WR to replace Boyd. He's had ups and downs but really vod pickup especially if Jones can't take the next step. Another option outside in the redzone too. Very nice pickup.

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - THE PISTONS - 03-12-2024

Geseki is pretty decent. He was really good a few years ago. He's only 28.

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - jj22 - 03-12-2024

Good value. Not good news for Hudson. Same role / player.

Needle unmoved. TE still a need.

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - NUGDUKWE - 03-12-2024

Really like this move. I know he doesn't fit the traditional tightens mold. Very affordable and curious what are big move will be. I'm expecting it will be resigning Reader fingers crossed.

i guess another revolving door piece?

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - Mike M (the other one) - 03-12-2024

I'm good with this one, it was needed and if he does well, he'll be another in the line of 1 yr contract TE's that go on to get paid

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - QueenCity - 03-12-2024

I like this move... think he's been under utilized the last couple years. He's a 700 yard per season Tight end.

He was phased out in Miami due to their star WR's and last year was with Mac Jones.

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - wcu - 03-12-2024

Good signing. I really thought we'd pick him up last year TBH. This is more of a TB replacement than addressing the TE position.

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - TheLeonardLeap - 03-12-2024

I expect him to really bounce back from last year with now an actual NFL QB throwing him the ball. Should be a good signing.

It is just another 1 year band-aid still, though. Maybe they still draft a TE in the first two days of the draft?

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - Essex Johnson - 03-12-2024

Well the TE carousel continues of hey lets hope this TE can resurrect their career on a 3rd one year deal.... Sad hopefully we look at draft to hopefully have a consistent player at TE...

He has gone over 700 yards 2/6 years.. I'm not sure you can consider him a 700 yard per season tight end...

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 03-12-2024

I am mixed on this one.

Positive: he is the best receiving TE on the team by a mile. And an upgrade from Hudson.

Negative: calling him a TE is a stretch. More like a huge slot. A 1 yr deal sounds like more reslvolving door. Plus, with Sample & him, it won't be hard for the D to figure out what is coming.

Probably bad news for Hudson unless we carry four TEs. I'd think he'd have been cheaper.

We've spent $15 mil on Moss, Sample, ADG, & Gesicki. Nothing wrong with any of those guys,,but I'd have preferred one plus starter to 4 plus backups.

I know they said they don't want a revolving door, but they also don't want a hole at NT and RT for example.  It's better for chemistry to have a long term fit, but if the market gives you a cheap option to fill a need you take it.

He's got there 2 out of 3 years when he gets over 85 targets

Assuming he's "Tyler Boyds Replacement" he should easily get over 700 if that is how he's utilized. 

I think his value will be in the Red Zone regardless. Even if he doesn't get the yards I'm projecting. 

Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - The D.O.Z. - 03-12-2024

I'm on the fence about this one. If this was two, three seasons ago I would have been over the moon. I hope he's the same player he was BEFORE playing with Mac Jones and that fustercluck that is the Patriots offense the past couple years.

Does this spell the end for the Hudson Hopefuls? Or do we bring him back as well, on the cheap, to fill out the TE room before the draft? If so, that would leave Sample as the only TE with any kind of blocking prowess and I'm not so sure I'm good with that.

RE: Bengals signing TE Mike Geseki - CJD - 03-12-2024

eh, he's basically a slot receiver. We still need at least 1 more in line tight end.

If Brock Bowers falls the TE room instantly becomes top tier and fills the void of minimized WR2 catches if Tee is traded.
