Gesicki officially passed Eifert for the most receiving yards by a Bengals TE in the past decade, and the most since Gresham's 737 in 2012.

In fact, Gesicki 2024 and Gresham 2012 are the only TEs to get 650+ in a season for Bengals since Tony McGee got 754 in 1995.

Gesicki has jumped up to 9th among TEs in receiving yards this year, but guys like LaPorta, Ertz, Otton, and Pitts still have 1 game left to pass him.
Gesicki - 665
LaPorta - 663
Ertz - 610
Otton - 600
Pitts - 587

All these guys are within 100 yards of Gesicki, but only LaPorta is probably a shoe-in to leap Gesicki.
Ertz has to get 56+ yards
Otton 66+ yards
Pitts 79+ yards

Gesicki will likely end up Top 12 in receiving yards, likely 10th or 11th after today's games.

If Gesicki would be willing to come back on a 1-year or 2-year deal for something that doesn't break the bank, I'd like to see him back.

And for those wondering who would replace Boyd adequately as 3rd option in the offense, Gesicki is essentially the same production as Boyd's 2023:
Boyd - 67 receptions, 667 yards, 2 TDs

Boyd was dealing with a compromised burrow and Jake browning. Lets get real
