I should have known ESPN started this rumor.

Trade a Day 3 pick for Pitts and his 11M contract ??. Oh yeah, lets do it so we definitely don't have money for Tee and he walks with Burton a basket case and Yoshi nowhere near a #2 WR and then Pitts walks after 2025 because he thinks he will still be relevant to get a big contract. Great idea ESPN. leave the Bengals with 1 WR and no TE 2 seasons from now. Rot in hell.

Gesicki wants to stay here. I think a 3 yr/18M dollar deal would be the ceiling and you have a guy on the roster that Burrow works with very well compared to a guy that has underachieved that ESPN and Madden football are pretty much his only supporters at this point.

To think in a redraft, The Jags still take Lawerence, but the Jets {Z. Wilson} 49ers {Lance} and the Falcons {Pitts] known what they know now, would have probably taken Chase, Waddle and Micah Parsons leaving the Bengal's with the choice of the once debatable Sewell or stay at WR and go with Devonta Smith.

So, while we kick ourselves senselessly in hindsight we could have had Mahomes {doubtful as Andy had years left on his contract} or any other player that came out that was good after the Bengal's selected the last few years, there is a few teams kicking themselves they could have had Ja'Marr Chase for the price of a 3x5 index card, so once in a while the football gods smile on the Bengal's.
