New Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki signed a one-year pact with the team in free agency.
According to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, the contract checks in at $2.5 million with $400,000 guaranteed, the latter number being the cap hit on the team’s books against the salary cap.
What’s interesting is that Gesicki got one year and $4.5 million from the New England Patriots in March of 2023. The year before that, the Miami Dolphins hit him with a one-year franchise tag worth $10.93 million.
The decreasing money doesn’t correlate to ability or upside though, with Gesicki blatantly a not-great fit in the last two offenses or with poor quarterback situations.
