To be clear, this year’s crop of free-agent tight ends isn’t all that impressive—especially after Dalton Schultz re-upped with the Houston Texans. NFL teams with a need at the position will have to either look to the draft or try to talk themselves into a low-ceiling veteran like Hunter Henry or Gerald Everett.
It’s either that or the bargain bin. And teams looking to add a tight end on the cheap might want to take a look at Mike Gesicki.
Gesicki’s lone year with the New England Patriots was disappointing—just 29 catches for 244 yards and two scores. Gesicki admitted to reporters that he didn’t meet his own expectations in 2023.
“I had a lot of high expectations for myself coming in here, and I’m just disappointed that I couldn’t, or didn’t, leave more of a mark on the field,” Gesicki said. “Whether it was some of the circumstances, whether it was opportunity, whether it was — we got a lot of playmakers in this building [and] there’s only one football.
