Former Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki has proven that he can be one of the bigger playmakers at an increasingly important position in the NFL, but the Miami Dolphins seem in no rush to commit to him long-term.

Originally chosen by the Dolphins in the second-round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Gesicki set career-highs with 53 receptions for 703 yards and six touchdowns in 2020, despite Tua Tagovailoa and Ryan Fitzpatrick rotating snaps at times at quarterback.

But, as Gesicki enters the final year of his rookie contract, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports there is “nothing percolating” between Gesicki and the Dolphins on a new deal.
