He is 30 this season and one dimensional, what is his future?  I can see the Bengals keeping him and stupidly risk losing McLachlan, but I hope they dont. 

Well obviously with the facts I presented when given a chance at more playing time, he performed exceptionally well.  This is a playoff team roster, they don;t need to worry about 2 to 3 years down the road on a rookie, or that Hudson was cut by teams in the past,  they need a dependable 3rd TE (they obviously care less about him being 30, which is a young 30 as far the grind of football with lack of snaps) and i think Tobin during the game  interview pretty much cemented that they see Hudson as that 3rd TE overall and 2nd TE in the slot . If they keep 4 Tight Ends it will probably be Alt since he was a late 4th round pick
