The idea of having Mayer on-board is not bad; however, he would not deliver much value this year. He would need to learn our system.
So swapping Gisecki or All for him does not seem reasonable. Neither Sample or McLachlan.

I'm not sure where you are getting it is because he is homesick. But if that is the case while I certainly am sympathetic to emotional issues that doesn't really give me confidence. Playing in the NFL requires a certain degree of mental toughness. Anyway I don't see the Bengals making a trade for him. They already have a pretty full list of TEs with various skills sets. And All is looking like he is moving up.
Just the word from the area that people are hearing from his family members.
Apparently he wanted to quit even while he was at Notre Dame.
Maybe his heart is out of it, but if bringing him home could unleash his potential, we'd be stupid not to do it.
