Would you trade Gesiki for a 1st?

[foozool13]

It’s a pretty slow time now and had some random thoughts.

So Njoku just reset the TE market and I don’t imagine Gesiki would take less to stay here.

Meaning we either tag Gesiki again or we pay him top dollar. If we tag him that’s gonna be 120% of this years salary. His tag is basically $11M, so that $13M and then he walks. Or you pay him something slightly higher than Njoku so roughly $60M with $30M gtd with around $14/15M a year.

With that said, if someone gives you a 1st would you do it?

3-2023 1st & Hill, Waddle, and Wilson doesnt sound too bad.

It’s a tough choice. All three have a legitimate argument.

I have a feeling Gesicki has a monster year and becomes our Kelce/ Waller and we will need to pay him to keep him locked up as a core piece of a soon to be championship team.


OR

Fast forward to end of 2022/23- Gesicki sucked, it all fell apart, won't say who this year's Fuller was....McDaniel worst coach ever and should have taken that 1st when we had the chance......Now no future...no trade value......

Like Gesicki, but if someone offer a first for him you have to take it. I would be extremely tempted if they offered an early 2nd round pick.

 

[traptses]

Being that he’s on the tag, he’s a FA after this season. Which would mean he’d have to be traded by the deadline this season. So how would we know if we are guaranteed a top 10 pick? Or early 2nd?

 

[MARINO1384]

Of course but nobody would do that lol he’s worth maybe a 3rd. I like Gesicki, great player and probably the vet leader of the offense but with that said I just don’t think we have the money to pay him. Assuming Tua pans out and we don’t need our picks to move up for a qb, I imagine he plays this year and is let go. We draft tight end first of second round. Maybe that Michael Mayer kid, great pass catcher, solid blocker

 

[Bebo8380]

If he walks. Hows the kid from Boston doing any word on him?

 

[Phinslife]

No, knowing how important the TE was from SF in that scheme, I believe Gesicki can be that or possibly better.

 

[EasyRider]

This topic has already beaten 20 or so dead horses. But ok, yeah, for a first rounder it’s a no brainer. Don’t really see an argument to that

 

[The Goat]

Yes.

I think Gesicki is an excellent weapon, but I don't know of his place on the field in a run-heavy offense. Is he mainly going to be used in an empty-back set? 12 personnel? I can't imagine running a lot of 22 with the weapons they have at WR. I'm not McDaniel; I imagine he has something in mind.

And there is simply no way anyone can speak with the slightest bit of confidence about what someone would give for him.

He is a free agent if they don’t sign him to a new contract before free agency starts in 2023. Yet they also have the option to put the franchise tag on him again if they decide they want to keep him but they still haven’t been able to come to terms on a new contract.

As far as trading him for a first round pick is concerned. To me that is totally dependent on how effective he is in the new offense and whether or not Long takes a big step up in his development in year 2.

At this time, I really don’t see any team offering a first round pick for Gesicki. He is basically a big WR who isn’t that fast and his YAC for a big receiver basically sucks. I think a third round pick would be the best they could hope for him at this time and for that type pick, I would just keep him.

 

[allsilverdreams]

Not the way this GM drafts 1st round picks.
I would be to nervous we reach for a player.
Mike is a very Solid TE and the best one the Dolphins have had in years.
I'll keep him .

 

[Mach2]

It isn't even a realistic premise, IMO, for reasons that should be obvious.

 

[Danny]

I just want to know which GM would be dumb enough to offer us a 1st round pick for him. I like Gesicki to a point but we're not getting a 1st round pick for him....lol

 

[cuzinvinny]

Heres a hypothetical

Would you trade him for Ryan Ramczyk ?

 

[claytonduper]

I think there are other factors to consider. First, do we have an adequate replacement or upgrade in Long? Is Gesicki willing to agree to a home-town discount given his 1-dimensional play? How does he fit with this new offense? Does he become the go-to guy on 3rd down? Does he become an end-zone specialist with double digit TD's?

Gesicki brings some intangibles the stat lines don't reflect. He is our biggest WO and has always been professional and a team player.
