In the next 12 months Mike Gesicki will either receive a substantial, life-altering contract from the Miami Dolphins, or he’ll be planning his future elsewhere.
A franchise develops a young player just enough for him to possibly price himself off their payroll. It has happened plenty this past decade with talents like tight end Charles Clay, defensive end Olivier Vernon, tailback Lamar Miller, receiver Jarvis Landry, offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James, and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, young draft picks Miami developed but let sign elsewhere when it was time for their second contract.
I suspect Gesicki will be next, especially if the Dolphins use the No.
