How important is a TE

[FormerlyBengalRugby]

I would not be opposed to seeing the Bengals looking at FB's, though they have shied away from that in recent years.

Cheaper than a TE.

Can get one without burning a high draft pick.

Can only help the short yardage game.

Arguably sets up a better mismatch in the passing game, as the defense comes out heavier.

Just tossing it out there while waiting on more signing news...
