The Miami Dolphins made their first big roster decision this offseason when they opted to place the franchise tag on Mike Gesicki, making sure that they would have his rights this offseason.
From there, the Dolphins could do a number of things with the former Nittany Lion.
Miami could keep Gesicki on the one-year tag and see how he fits in new head coach Mike McDaniel’s system. If they are confident that he will fit, they could decide to work out an extension before the season starts, lowering his 2022 cap number and keeping him around beyond just the year. If they just wanted to make sure that they don’t let him go for nothing, they could simply trade Gesicki away on his tag number that, right now, is very reasonable.
