The Dean Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 1 minute ago, NewEra said: No clue why they franchised him. I suppose they didn’t completely know what they were getting (or letting go). New staff that never coached him before. Maybe they thought they could coach him up and didn’t want to give up on such a nice target before they spent some time with him rather than just watching tape I tought I read Gesicki wanted to be traded. Is that not the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t matter what he wants, the Dolphins don’t want him as our #2 which is why he won’t be playing for the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't consider anything 5th round or better "a bag of peanuts and a roll of tape". I think they might get a 4th...which is a pretty valuable draft pick, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he's a talent but he's pretty much one-dimensional as a WR. And we have plenty of WRs, AND a TE who can be a receiving threat and actually block. I'm glad to see Miami could move him since he has been the toughest player on that team against the Bills, but I'm not excited to get him here.

machine gun kelly Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 As much as I’d love the idea of OBJ, if we had this guy to have a significant 12 personnnel and drop the Howard option would be great. The nice thing is TE’s as weapons cost a lot less than WRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 45 minutes ago, Beck Water said: I think Gesicki is a fine player, but if he doesn't fit their needs, why TF did they franchise tag him? Or, if they decided to franchise tag him, why didn't they "tag and trade" early in FA when teams had money and roster space, and could spend the off season teaching a new guy their playbook and working him in? I could be wrong, but I kind of think their trade market for a guy with a 1 yr, $10.9M fully guaranteed deal is gonna be a bit limited at this point. There is no rhyme or reason to why a team as poorly managed as the Dolphins does anything. Trying to figure it out is futile. They may have tagged him in order to buy time to work out a long term deal, and then talks have gone south, and Gesicki doesnt like the new offense, so here we are. Or some combo of bullcrap like that going on behind the scenes. It's Miami. All I know is, I love to see it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 If you want a tight end who is really not a tight end but a skilled big receiver, just play Hodgins. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is 6’6” 250 and has great hands. We don’t need him to block when in there. We’d be completely unstoppable in the red zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably looking for something closer to $20M/yr than $10M/yr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read it somewhere but can't find it now. Something about him not being happy with the coaching staff/how he's being used.

Also we ain't spending $10 mil on a TE that's not named Knox Edited August 24, 2022 by ddaryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
