Bengals to sign free agent TE Mike Gesicki

The Cincinnati Bengals have found their next starting tight end in free agency.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bengals have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Mike Gesicki.

Gesicki, 28, spent last year with the New England Patriots, catching 29 of his 45 targets and scoring twice over 17 games. He’s a former second-round pick of Miami and played five seasons with the Dolphins and averages 11 yards per catch for his career.

A 6’6″ weapon for Joe Burrow, Gesicki slots into the No. 1 role, leaving the recently re-signed Drew Sample as the blocking specialist. The Bengals could still look to draft a tight end or bring back Tanner Hudson, too, given the lack of names on the depth chart.
