2005 TEs
18 catches - 193 yards - TD - 1 start - Matt Schobel
15 catches - 90 yards - TD - 14 starts - Reggie Kelly
4 catches - 26 yards - 3 starts - Tony Stewart

They'll still sign Wilcox. They'll be fine.

It could be the offense that the Bengals are running just isn't stat-friendly to a TE.
Perhaps we bash Sample more than we should.

Here were the YPC from the primary TE each of the years in Taylor's offense:
2019 - 10.1 (Eifert)
2020 - 8.7 (Sample)
2021 - 10.1 (Uzomah)
2022 - 8.0 (Hurst)

In each of those years, the most yards by a TE was 493 by Uzomah in 2021.
Maybe it's unrealistic to expect any TE to get much above 500, at least as long as they keep running so many 3-WR sets.
