Joe Burrow made it clear he wants his team to keep Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Trey Hendrickson, and Mike Gesicki.
Well, the front office took that last name very seriously.
How seriously?
By agreeing to a three-year, $25.5 million dollar deal with the veteran tight end, the front office made him the first Cincinnati Bengals player to receive a multi-year contract before the official start of free agency (the legal tampering period) since...Rey Maualuga back in 2015.
This, according to Bengals guru Joe Goodberry.
How significant is it that the Cincinnati Bengals agreed to an extension with tight end Mike Gesicki?
