To those that will say "It's cuz he was hurt, not cuz he's bad!" - Yes, I get that he had two good seasons and the production was affected by his health, but you can't be productive when you're not able to take the field.
For as frustrating as Gresham was, he was far more reliable to play and ended up with 2722 yards and 24 TDs in his five years with the Bengals.
Better overall production compared to Eifert.
Looking to next year, I'd prefer to just roll with Kroft and Uzomah as the top two TEs, draft another in the middle rounds, and build the offensive gameplan around the WRs and RBs.
Yep. It's not like he's just missing games too.
With back surgeries you're unable to run and lift weights for months. That's a big deal.
