The Cincinnati Bengals have made a significant move by re-signing tight end Mike Gesicki to a three-year, $25.5 million contract, as reported by ESPN. The deal includes $12 million allocated for the 2025 season and extends through 2027, marking Gesicki as the first player from the Bengals to receive an extension this offseason.

With the new league year commencing soon, the Bengals face critical decisions, particularly regarding potential extensions for star receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Recently, the team applied a franchise tag to Higgins, while they are also considering options for defensive end Trey Hendrickson amidst his trade request. In his inaugural season with Cincinnati, Gesicki caught 65 passes for 665 yards and two touchdowns, solidifying his role as a key target for quarterback Joe Burrow, trailing only Chase and Higgins in receptions.
