The Cherry picked stat comment is weird. Geisecki is on pace for 603 yards this season. Assuming he hits that, it's only 60 less yards then Tyler Boyd had last season. When people kept asking "Who will fill Tyler Boyd's role?!" it turns out it was Gesecki.
I don't think there are any illusions that he is elite, but it's obvious this team is needs to figure out a 3rd option still (assuming Tee is back) and he gives them a serviceable one. The guy is sitting 13th in the league right now for TE receiving yards but 6th in yards per reception as it pertains to the folks ahead of him. He hasn't actually had that many targets relative to the group in front of him ranking 11th in receptions out of that group, funny enough having basically the exact same season as Kyle Pitts right now.
Guys he has more receiving yards than by the way....
Pat Friermuth
Cole Kmet
David NJoku
Dalton Schultz
Dallas Goedert
That list alone has some really well paid TE's on it. He is worth every penny we paid him this season and we would be smart to bring him back in on a similarly cap friendly deal to keep an option in the passing game.
