According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, there is currently “nothing percolating” on a contract extension for TE Mike Gesicki, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Jackson writes that the Dolphins could be waiting for players to return for training camp before getting a deal done, or the organization wants to see how Gesicki and third-round TE Hunter Long plays in 2021.
Jackson adds that the franchise tag could be an option for Gesicki after this season, which would cost Miami $11.3 million for 2022.
Gesicki, 25, is a former second-round pick by the Dolphins in the 2018 NFL Draft. He’s entering the final year of his four-year, $6,611,924 rookie contract that included a $2,888,962 signing bonus.
In 2020, Gesicki appeared in 15 games and recorded 53 receptions for 703 yards (13.3 YPC) and six touchdowns.
