Sign Gabe
Cut Zay
Draft 1st round WR

Or keep Zay as the #4?

Bc you can't go in there with Kirk, Davis, Zay and expect any better than what we had this year. If anything it would be a significant downgrade.

We'll expect better hopefully due to an increase in time to throw for Trevor even with a perceived downgrade to the WR corp.  I also liked what I saw of Parker Washington to close out the year, but you can't go into this season assuming him to be anything more than a 4.  Hopefully he proves that assumption wrong and continues to ascend.  

One of the points of free agency, however, is to plug all your perceived holes prior to the draft so that you aren't pigeon holed into having to draft one or two position groups solely out of need with your early picks.  If we're replacing Ridley with something, I would think Gabe should be one of the better bargains at the WR group in free agency.  I would also think they keep Zay given what we've seen him do when healthy in 2022 and because of the apparent rapport he and Trevor have.  Also, I think as a courtesy, you cut guys you don't plan to keep prior to free agency so that they have an opportunity to get the best deal elsewhere they can find.  It's just good business.  Having not heard anything about Zay getting cut to this point, I think that likely means he won't be.
