Huge disappointment for a 1st rounder - I don't care how well he blocked. Ced was good for a while but was pretty close to cooked when they finally let him go. He just didn't have it anymore. I believe he tried to make the Packers roster and couldn't crack the 53 due to an injury.
A lot of those penalties while committed by Gresham, should be put on the OC.
How many times did we see Gresham blocking one-on-one against DEs like Cameron Wake? Gotta give your TE some help against Pro Bowl and All-Pro DEs, but the Bengals never really seemed interested in doing that.

I think he's just a bit of a product of what they need in Arizona. Last year Fitzgerald had 1200 yards, Brown had 1000 yards, and Floyd had 850 yards. They didn't need more receiving threats. They needed someone to block.
This year again they have 3 people with over 200 yards receiving, and 5 with over 150 yards, and that's even with Palmer regressing a little.
