Gesicki Signs

[cincygrad]

Gesicki goes for 3 years 25.5 million. The way he talked at the end of the year, I figured he loved playing with Burrow but would be looking to cash in elsewhere. This seems like more than the Bengals wanted to pay, so I have to believe this one was influenced by Burrow. Now, go get Tee done and the dialogue around this offseason starts to shift.

seems like a win win for both club and player.

I was surprised by the 3 years more than the cost. I think the $$ is OK, probably a compromise of sorts.

I agree - I think this is a Burrow move, though...one that was designed on keeping him happy until the Chase and Higgins stuff finalizes one way or the other.

I’m honestly stunned. $12 mil up front for a TE is very non Bengal-like.

It’s a good move though. Gesicki was very good last year and is honestly the perfect TE for Burrow.

Now get Tee’s deal done and start working on Chase.

The Bengals are then a right guard away from maybe the best offense in the NFL.
