Not that I personally am concerned, just that I don't think Bengals will given their recent history signing 30+ year olds to multi-year deals.

I'd be down to give Gesicki like a 2 year, $10 mill deal where Year 1 is like $6 mill and the 2nd is $4 mill in an anticipation of potential decline.

Just like you, I understand how they like to operate, though I think that an exception could be made for Gesicki. This is his 7th season, but he really doesn't have a ton of miles on those legs. He's only had 3 seasons of snap counts over 600. A reasonable argument could be made that he's actually still in good shape for his age. A deal like the one you described would likely work out well, and give the team another year or two to get their long term guy for the future in place.
