It removes a lot of the formation & mismatch advantage that makes TEs effective. All he is is a slow/less quick slot receiver. His only real value is that he is tall and can be a redzone threat. Not saying I dont' think it's a fine move, but it's not a steal.

All he is is a slow/less quick slot receiver. We lose a lot of those qualities when Boyd leaves. Burrow having a safety valve is important. He's notorious for holding it too long for the perfect play, so one more big target to take the safe 7 yards only helps support him.

All he is is a slow/less quick slot receiver. Gesecki is a tall slot receiver with 700 yard prowess. Think of him as that. Even if Gesecki is covered completely by a linebacker, Burrow just has to throw it high where the LB cant get it, and Gesecki will catch it. WTS, I can now picture multiple passes going off the tips of Gesecki's outstretched fingers and into the hands of the opposing safety... It's because you are of such profound wisdom, Frank Booth. - SunsetBengal

All he is is a slow/less quick slot receiver. He was pretty good in Miami. We got a TE that has proven he can be a tool in the NfL for 3M. Not like we spent 7M. And this by no means makes the off season a success. It doesn’t move the needle for me on a macro level. But for the TE room I like it

Looks like Winston is signing with the Browns which would mean Flacco is gone.

Gesicky is definitely better than Hurst and Irv Smith Jr. Last year he suffered dislocated shoulder during a practice, but he's been healthy since then. Nice deal, B+

I really like what we are doing so far. Filling needs with young quality players and no WTF signings.

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.

Gesicki? Meh. Might turn out ok but not noteworthy.
Wonder what we got for Mixon.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

Mixon traded instead of released is value for nothing and Gesecki cheap is even better. Gesecki will be way more valuable than we expect. Mark me on that prediction.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!
