Notes From Training Camp 2025

I still question if Hudson would have a job if not for the Bengals. He isn't some up and coming player.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

So for now, my TE room prediction is Gesicki, Fant, Sample, and Hudson.  Gandy to the PS.  McLachlan heads to the CFL

Entirely reasonable. 

But I still think we keep 5. Fant, Gesicki, Sample, Hudson, and Grandy. 

The only guys on the fringes who really impressed were Giles-Harris and maybe Brightwell. Maybe Heyward? My attention wandered a bit at the end.
