FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent tight end Mike Gesicki that is worth up to $9 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates.
Gesicki will pair with veteran Hunter Henry to give the Patriots a dual-tight end attack the team hoped it was getting when it signed Henry and Jonnu Smith to big-money deals in free agency in 2021. The team traded Smith to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday for a seventh-round draft pick.
Gesicki had been recruited to Penn State by new Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien in 2014, and committed to the school.
