Time for TE Gentry?

Anyway, fumble aside, he had 4 catches for 25. His BEST game of the year. Baby steps. 

Tanner Hudson mor Gentry are not gonna magically solve our TE problems. But the passing game generally has been awful while Burrow was hurt. I think we are see how things progress with healthy Joe and healthier Tee. Charlie Jones could come off IR this week. We have won 3 straight. 

Unless some team is essentially waiving the flag and willing to let a good vet who is gonna leave anyway next year go for essentially nothing (a 7th?), I think we stand pat. That trade could be out there. Gesicki from NE. Heck, I'd call the Texans on Dalton Schultz right now, but that will take more than a 7th. He's under contract for next year for VERY reasonable ($3.375 mil). A fifth? We have an extra comp pick incoming in the 5th & 7th..

Gisecki is and has been my choice if we look to trade for a TE. Folks were saying Waller, and I said he's giving me Eifert vibes. Low and behold, one week later, he goes out injured against the Jets.
