Sample is inferior, sure he scored a TD, but he's also missed more TD's in the redzone than the opposite. What hurts him is he can't catch, it's 2023 and you need to block AND catch, you might be better at one than the other, but catching is the getter in TODAY's NFL, otherwise, if you need a blocker, bring back the FULLBACK position, that's how Dillon was able to become who he was. Also the fact that other new Bengal TE's are making waves, is likely making Sample understand that being drafted #2 doesn't mean job security any longer. If he's gone, I'm OK with it. The OC finally making schemes with TE's again like the last 2 seasons is showing fruitition, unless Burrow was just avoiding them because he wasn't seeing them open as he was used to with Uza or Hurst. My 2 pennies.
