Have to tag and trade although I’d like to keep him. It’s obvious he’s not in our plans but we just can’t let him walk
 
I don’t want him back. And I’ve done a 180 on that—earlier in the year I supported resigning him. But we just can’t rely on him to block and even as a receiver, he’s too limited. At any given time, I’d rather a true TE or a slot receiver.
 
I would try to resign him but not for a big contract, very 1 dimensional, may be rhe one guy I am ok with letting go.
 
Let him walk.

Dude has been invisible in what 60% of his games? 70%? I don't know the number, but it happens far too often for the contract he is likely to command.

Like Parker, he rarely generates any separation and he's not even great on contested catches. We need to replace him and Parker with guys that get open, Waddle is the only legitimate threat on the entire offense.

And he runs like a Wildebeast with a broken leg
 
I’ve been done with him for a while. Every catch is contested, does he ever get open? Has he ever run over a defensive back. I say peace out.
 
i think with the right oc he would be very effective, but if godsey is calling it next year we should let him walk. tagging him would be cheap though
 
As much as I like Gesicki, I would say Tag him and then try to trade him to a team outside the conference if we can't agree on a decent deal. If we were to trade him ideally i would like to get an above average tackle or a Guard in return. it may take sending Gesicki and another late pick to make it work but i'd take it in a heartbeat. I like what we have in regard to depth, I would definitely resign Smythe as he is far more rounded than Gesicki.
 
Sign him if he recognizes he is not Kelce or the like. He's a good pass catching tight end. He deserves a nice contract but not crazy money, top 10 area. Spend that money else where if he wants a mega contract that only makes sense if he is ballin out every week
 
Hes not top tier. Depends now on what his demands are and how his agent sees him.
 
I read an article this week that because of the way the Dolphins used him this season, he and his agent will want him to be franchised as a WR instead of a TE if the Dolphins decide to go in that direction. He actually lined up a lot more in the slot and outside this year than he did in what is considered a TE position.

It would cost them over $19 million to franchise him as a WR and a little over $10 million to franchise him as a TE. He will likely be looking to sign for $13-15 million a year. So they will probably try to sign him to a new contract if they want to keep him. Because I doubt they want to to franchise him and possibly have to take a $19 million dollar hit because of the way they used him this season.

My best is guess they will try and see if he is will be willing to give them a discount to remain in Miami . If he is unwilling to do so and he is asking for more than they think he is worth, they will let him walk and hope Long can step up and replace him next season.
