The Bengals of Cincinnati would have re-signed the winger Mike Gesicki closer to a $ 25.5 million contract over three years, which removed pressure from the organization to engage one less player to stay in the city for several years.
Among the many high-level movements that Bengals should make this offseason, Gesicki’s re-signature was a priority, but not the one that would make the most waves in the NFL.
Gesicki being back in Cincinnati occurs a year after his season of 665 yards, a better career, by Jordan Schultz.
The main priorities of Cincinnati are to report Ja’mar Chase to a long-term extension, the director general of de facto Bengals, Duke Tobin, saying that the franchise hopes to make the broader receiver the best paid non-quarter in the history of the NFL.
Bengals also allowed the defensive player Star Trey Hendrickson to explore his options via trade, expressing the desire to stay in Cincinnati.
Last month, the Bengals placed their franchise label on Tee Higgins for the second consecutive season.

Bengal head coach Zac Taylor will now be part of the replay of other priority players
Since the start of the 2019 season, seven other places have been tagged two years in a row. Six finally obtained long -term transactions.
Higgins, 26, has already played his year under the franchise tag, which paid him $ 21.8 million in salary. This year’s label would guarantee it $ 26.18 million – the average of the first five wages for wide receivers last season.
Bengals now have until July 15 to sign Higgins to a new contract or the salary of the tag will be locked up.
Gesicki, 29, will now have roots in Ohio after bouncing in the NFL for three years. From 2022 to 2024, the tight end spent a season each with Miami, New England and Cincinnati.
Now, Bengals will be active to ensure that all their desired parts are being set up.
