While the Bengals got Mike Gesicki back on a new deal, contracts from around the NFL seemed to dramatically bump the contract extensions for Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson.

The Cincinnati Bengals began their offseason by signing tight end Mike Gesicki, but many analysts are unconvinced their start to free agency has been worthwhile.

This is a 50-50. The Bengals want a youth movement across the defense and sophomores Kris Jenkins Jr. and McKinnley Jackson should see plenty of run. But if Hill has a quiet market, the team probably shouldn't dismiss the idea of bringing him back and keeping him in the rotation. He's 30 years old, so a short-term deal could be nice for both sides.

Former New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki is set to sign a three-year, $25.5 million contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals.

It may not be Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins, but the Cincinnati Bengals have signed one popular Joe Burrow target to a multi-year deal

Mike Gesicki caught 65 passes his first season in Cincinnati, the second most of any tight end in team history behind Dan Ross’ 71 in 1981.
