Patriots lose free agent TE Mike Gesicki to Bengals on reported 1-year deal

Mike Gesicki’s stint with the New England Patriots will be a one-and-done affair. The veteran tight end, who had joined the team last offseason, is leaving again to sign a one-year free agency deal with the Cincinnati Bengals.

According to a report by Adam Schefter of ESPN, Gesicki’s new contract is worth up to $3.25 million. The actual base value will be lower than that.

Gesicki, 28, started his NFL career as a second-round selection by the Miami Dolphins in the 2018 draft. He went on to spend the first five years of his career with the team, catching 233 passes for 2,632 yards and 19 touchdowns in a combined 82 regular season and playoff games.
