Mike Gesicki left the Patriots for Cincinnati as well. Gesicki signed a one-year contract worth $2.5 million, with $400,000 in guarantees. Gesicki is easily the most talented tight end Burrow has ever played with, thus he might be the next product of the Bengals offense’s tight end factory and land a large contract in 2025.
Familiar faces Vonn Bell is back in Cincinnati after spending the previous season with the Carolina Panthers. The Bengals were able to re-sign him on a veteran minimum contract because Carolina is still paying him $6 million this season.
