The Cincinnati Bengals made a move to bolster their receiving corps on Tuesday. They signed former Dolphins and Patriots TE Mike Gesicki to a one-year deal. Gesicki has been productive in the past, and his signing seems to fit the Bengals’ approach to the TE spot in recent years. But does this move, in the grand scheme of things, matter?
