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
The Bengals have ALWAYS been concerned about players at age 30. That is known fact for any fan that has been around awhile.
All could easily take that TE3 spot.
Caring about the future is Duke's job. I did hear his comments but Im not a Duke Tobin fan so I could see him losing a potential future piece for a TE that should not get many reps and likely has a limited career ahead of him.
