What the David Njoku Deal Means for Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki
The Miami Dolphins have until July 15 to sign tight end Mike Gesicki to a long-term contract extension, otherwise he’ll play the 2022 season under his franchise tag number of just over $10.9 million.
He was one of three tight ends in the same situation until the Cleveland Browns signed David Njoku on Friday to a four-year contract worth around $56.8 million, per multiple reports.
With the new deal, Njoku became the fifth-highest-paid tight end based on annual average, behind only George Kittle, Travis Kelce, Dallas Goedert and Mark Andrews.
