Nothing percolating” for Mike Gesicki contract extension

While I agree with a lot of my brothers and sisters bringing up the blocking, 3WR sets, and being drafted by the old regime, this is the exact same thing that came out the day before Baker signed an extension. Hope all those things can be correct at the same time. But I also wouldn’t be shocked if he was a late camp trade piece
 
LOL... this might be the funniest thread... ever here at FH!

Question: Did any of the local guys know that Baker was going to sign? No.
Did any of the local guys know we were going to sign Elemenor? No.
Did any of the local guys suggest we were looking at Fluker? No.

Did any of them have the Sanders contract ahead of time? No.

Do you see what I'm getting at? The fact that one local guy thinks he might know what contracts the fins are negotiating in advance? LOLOLOLOLOL.... K... ahem...
 
I'm certainly scratching my head here. Maybe Flo doesn't put much stock in TE's that aren't good blockers? Only thing that makes sense.
Or they are just not publicizing it, we really don't know. We were all surprised when the extended Baker outta left field. There were no reports leading up to it and many around these parts felt he was on borrowed time. Until Jackson sources Gesicki or his agent, it's just his speculation at this point...

Amen! The media is not in the know. I think Grier/Flo are working quietly and something will get done, on their timeline. MG will remain a Phin for another contract.
 
And the Gesicki haters are out in full force. Every single season he’s made you all look silly and yet here you are again.

All he does is catch TDs while you whine he’s not the best blocker.

This isn’t the 60s, 70s,80s…this is modern FB and the TE position has evolved.

Zero truth to this statement. The TE position in 2021 is what it's been for going on 20 years.

And who is talking about comparing TE play to 50-70 years ago, other than yourself?

The best TEs today are also amazing blockers. Kittle, Kelce, Gronk etc etc. All are insane blockers.

The TE position has not evolved.
And before you call me a "Gesicki hater" take a breath. I'm all for him getting a new contract with the Dolphins. But, being a fan of MG doesn't mean I am blind to reality.

Put your hand down we know you’re part of the Gesicki sucks group.
 
Didn’t a story come out a day or two before, or maybe even the morning of, regarding the team not being close to an extension with Baker? This team likes to keep their cards close to the chest, so until something is announced, I do not believe anything written by anyone. They might know more than us because they have connections and a good rapport with the organization, but that still doesn’t mean jack when it comes to what Flo and Grier are discussing.
 
It's his prove it year. Why give him a contract now if potentially not having a contract is the impetus to a lights out year? He doesn't;t HAVE to have a contract done before the season. Plenty of players get inked mid year and pre-FA,
 
i really like Gesicki, (some for selfish reasons because my daughter was at Penn state when he was there). i hope they can keep him.. the way i look at any player is if they don't extend him, how would i feel if he was on the Jets/Patriots and we have to defend him.. i would hate to face him.. he is a nightmare matchup so i hope we find a way to keep him. that being said let's hope Long is the next Kelce

It's still early. Gesicki is one of those players that you don't wanna overbid for yet you hope no one else does either. We know he's Miami's best TE, but we still haven't seen his best and you don't wanna risk paying him elite money for good. I feel he's getting better every year so hopefully they can agree to deal that's great for both parties.
 
It would be terrible to lose Gesicki for a comp pick. If FloCo doesn't think he fits thier scheme then they need to trade him for something better than a late 3rd.
They want him to play this year. Doubtful he gets traded.

In fairness, I don’t see a lot of fans whining about it, I see them citing it as a potential reason - from the organization’s point of view - as to why he might not get extended.

I like Gesicki because he was good in college and I wanted Miami to draft him and they actually drafted a player I wanted lol I remember several posts from from the Point Of View threads last season from different fanbases commenting on how "that Gesicki guy Miami has is good" or "damn Miami's TE has some hands on him."
