It's still an option, at least that's what Marvin Lewis said at the AFC Breakfast this morning, part of the NFL Owners Meetings. Lewis said he talked with Gresham on Monday, and the veteran tight end remains an option for the Bengals. After undergoing back surgery last week, Gresham is still a free agent waiting to be signed, so re-signing with Cincinnati may be the best option for him.

 

Perhaps, circumstances have changed enough since then, like the fact Cincinnati could probably get Gresham back on a one-year deal for around $2 million.

 

Jermaine Gresham still option for Bengals, per Marvin Lewis - Cincy Jungle

It would have to be a cheap deal, as you stated. Short term, also. Not sure if he wasn't picked up by someone because of performance or back issues. Probably a combination.

No thanks.

No thanks.

 

Because there is a better option? If they could get him for one year at just 2 Million, I am perfectly fine with it. As long as Eifert stays healthy I feel like they are going to make him the #1 TE next year no matter what. Gresham is not a bad TE to have as a cheap #2 who can also block really well.
