This offseason, the Miami Dolphins were faced with the difficult decision of what to do with Mike Gesicki.
The Penn State product was set to be an unrestricted free agent at the start of the league year, and the Dolphins would’ve lost him to another team for nothing. Instead, general manager Chris Grier placed the franchise tag on Gesicki, which meant he was given a one-year deal that was fully guaranteed at $10.9 million.
However, with franchise tags, the two sides can still work out a long-term deal until July 15. For Gesicki and the Dolphins, it doesn’t appear like that’s going to happen.
