When a lot of the passing game is predicated on timing and the QB/WR being on the same page - I would be very shocked if they cut/trade Gibson. He's a comfort blanket in the slot for RT, however, lets not forget, that we turned him into a Slot WR, he was an outside guy before he got here - brings even more value.
Additionally, with the movement, alignments that are being spoken of, of the Lazor offense, WR's, TE's and even the RB's will end up playing all over the place, inside and outside.
Gibson brings great value to this offense. And it looks like Hickey has made a point of developing a strength within the receiving corps with the volume of players he's signed to compete.
The player that I am very curious about this year is Cone who seems to be getting more reps with RT that I would ever have expected. Yes he had a brain fart on his catch in the red zone by not getting his second foot down in time, but it was his movement, size and hands that stood out to me.
Getting back to Gibson, I see a lot of similarities - playing style wise and physique - between Landry, Gibson and Matthews and the fact that they can play anywhere will make it difficult for defenses to key on any one in particular. Caveat here is, I'm not saying this is my top three, just that I like these three as a group. And a relatively young group at that.
