And we all know he wasn't offered top dollar.

I see it the exact opposite. Coming off being cut, any long-term contract is going to be on the low side. But say he signs a one year deal here (or two) and has a great season with Burrow throwing him the ball, then his next contract would be much higher. Worked for the last couple of TE's who came through here on short term deals that then signed elsewhere.
