The Dolphins sound like they want to keep TE Mike Gesicki, but he's 2 weeks away from becoming a free agent. If Gesicki does depart Miami, these 3 teams should be very interested in signing him. FrontOffice33 | NFLFreeAgency
Field-stretching tight ends are all the rage in today's NFL. A dynamic pass-catcher that can provide his offense with an advantage when faced with one-on-one coverage against opposing linebackers and safeties carries tremendous value in a league that's becoming more and more pass-happy. Offenses are constantly evolving and the “big slot” tight end has become more prevalent as offenses look to spread defenses thinner and create spacing opportunities for their playmakers.
Gesicki experienced a career-best season with the Dolphins by recording 73 receptions, 780 yards, and two touchdowns. The former Penn State standout is a high-level athlete at the position that can move all over the formation while creating mismatches and headaches for opposing defensive coordinators. Gesicki lacks the blocking chops to play in-line consistently, a fact that could deem him expendable under new head coach Mike McDaniel, who is bringing a system change to Miami's offense.
Jacksonville represents the ideal type of landing spot for Gesicki. New head coach Doug Pederson previously did terrific work with a similar skill set in Zach Ertz in Philadelphia and is the type of coach and play-caller that understands how to best utilize an elite pass-catching tight end within his offensive system. Jacksonville's roster desperately needs this type of player in order to maximize Pederson's play-calling capabilities.
Douglas should seriously consider retooling the entire tight end room this offseason. Ryan Griffin was the team's most productive pass-catching tight end in 2021, and he recorded just 261 receiving yards. Griffin finished eighth on the team in receiving yards. It's a haunting statistic and fact on an offense whose leading receiver totaled just 538 yards. New York's top-seven receiving yards leaders were made up of five wide receivers and two running backs.
