The reason Mike Gesicki always knew he wanted to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals was because of quarterback Joe Burrow.

The Cincinnati Bengals are entering a crucial phase of rebuilding following a disappointing season, and Coach Zac Taylor’s team is eager to reload for the upcoming campaign. One significant addition to the Bengals’ roster is former Penn State, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki, whose signing elicited a humorous reaction from Ja’Marr Chase.

Additionally, the Bengals have delivered positive news regarding Vonn Bell, much to the delight of fans.

In discussing his decision to join the Bengals, Gesicki emphasized the pivotal role of quarterback Joe Burrow. According to Gesicki, Burrow’s presence at the helm was the decisive factor in his choice to sign with Cincinnati.

Gesicki conveyed to Pro Football Network that the opportunity to play alongside Burrow was irresistible: “They could’ve said it’s the worst place in the world, but when you’ve got No. 9 at quarterback, I was like, ‘That is the place I want to go.'”

Furthermore, Gesicki shared Burrow’s excitement upon the announcement of his signing, noting Burrow’s eagerness to start building chemistry on the field. Gesicki expressed anticipation for the opportunity to work with Burrow, acknowledging the quarterback’s exceptional talent and playmaking ability: “I’m really looking forward to it. There’s not many, if any, guys that can do what he does with the football.”
