OTC and Spotrac have an approximate value on Mike Gesicki of around $7m. That's probably fair as he just took a 1-year prove-it deal with Cincy for $2.5m. You sign him, at 30 for 3 years 21m, or something near that. That first-year hit is probably, what, 5m? Now you have a quality stack of TEs to offset the loss of Kelce.
Now, you don't like Hollywood's health but a similar guy that will be looking to get out of dodge is Elijah Moore. He might be a little bit of a bitch about targets but why not go after him anyhow... OTC says 8.8m, Spotrac says 4.5m... Curtis Samuel just got 8m AAV and is similar in production. So let's go with that, 3 years 24m. That first-year hit is probably 6m. Now you have a real quality slot to pair with Rice and Worthy.
I feel like for a relatively modest investment, you've just built your offense for the next 3 years without even touching the draft.

I hate hate HATE Gesicki's game.
He's a one-trick seam stretcher, IMO. Not very agile, not a very good route runner. He's just a guy that goes in straight lines and catches the ball if coverage ignores him.
No way I'm giving him any sort of long-term deal. I'd take Ertz for a year or even Ty Conklin over Gesicki. I just don't like how Gesicki plays.
