The Miami Dolphins had a decision to make before Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET on whether or not to use the franchise tag on two players who arguably deserved it – defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah and tight end Mike Gesicki.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Dolphins have opted to place the tag on the latter. Gesicki will cost $10.93 million on the cap this year if the team decides to keep him on the tag. However, there’s also a chance that he fights to be paid as a wide receiver, which would make his tag number $18.42 million.
The tight end had one of the best seasons of his career in 2021, as he recorded career-highs in both receptions (73) and yards (780) with two touchdowns.
