Mike Gesicki among tight ends working at 'TE University'

[andyahs]

Positional summits seem to be all the rage these days among NFL players. Offensive linemen meet every summer for “OL Masterminds” — a meeting of many of the top linemen in football to exchange tricks of the trade and learn new techniques. Von Miller hosts a pass rushing summit each offseason, too. And now, thanks to the efforts of some of the top tight ends in football, there’s now “TE University”, too. The first ever summit of the NFL’s best and brightest mismatch weapons is currently underway in Nashville and among the participants you’ll find one of the Miami Dolphins’ most important weapons for the coming season.

Fourth-year tight end Mike Gesicki is in attendance and looking to level up his game. And thanks to a series of photographs shared from the event, you can get a peak at Gesicki in action running routes and working to better his game.

It’s a critical season for Gesicki as it relates to his future with the Dolphins. Miami added tight end Hunter Long in the 3rd-round of this year’s NFL draft — a surprising selection that appears to signal doom for someone in Miami’s tight end room. And with Gesicki entering into a contract year and expected to command a significant level of pay, he’s going to need to play at a high level this season in order to help sell Miami on his status as a long-term centerpiece of the Dolphins’ offense.

I would like them to give him a long term contract.
We really haven't had a dangerous tight end for a long time.
Even though he can't block, He is an amazing catcher of the ball.
I think with the addition of Waddle and Fuller taking coverage deep he will work the middle really well.
Better to sign him now rather than wait till it costs too much.

Thanks. I googled to find a list yesterday for those in attendance and nothing came up.

I wondered if Hunter Long was invited and attending as well. Looks like 49 TE’s are in attendance. Tebow not one of them

I read somewhere this past week Gesicki’s shoulder is still not fully healed. Not sure if that is accurate or not.

I vote “yes” to extending Gesicki on a reasonable contract. He has grown a lot since his rookie year when he spent too much time running east-west and trying to jump over defenders.

From a contractual perspective, he might fair better financially if he tests free agency next year. If his shoulder is a concern, both parties may benefit by extending now assuming it isn’t a long-term problem.

Id rather take whatever “extra” Howard is crying about and give it to Gesicki!

It kinda looks like a woman. After all they can have tight ends too.

It's Trevor Lawrence

Sign this guy now! Why wait until after this year? He's just going to light it up and then we will have to pay him more. Not that I care its not my money but just in terms of paying players we can save money by signing him now and that let's us sign more other players. SIGN HIM NOW!!!

The top 10 salaries for TE this year average around $10.4 and it most likely will significantly grow next off-season with the salary cap increase. Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith both are making $12.5 this year after signing.

I am no GM but F' it, I will take a shot here...3 year $36 mil, signing bonus and first year fully guaranteed with team option final two years sounds about right to me.

I would be shocked if he signed a deal like that. That is unbelievably team friendly. There is no security in the deal past the first year.

Personally I would wait to pay gesicki, I would want to get a better read on his pay scale..

I would take his production and measure it up against receivers in the NFL..

That’s where I would come up with his number.
