Throughout his five seasons in Miami, Gesicki had three different head coaches and a carousel of quarterbacks until he found great chemistry with Tua Tagovailoa. Adam Gase, Brian Flores, and the current Dolphins head man Mike McDaniel were all unable to fully maximize Gesicki as the trio of coaches would often leave Gesicki on the sidelines rather than involving him in the offense.

With that said, Gesicki has had countless eye-opening catches throughout his career, including an incredible snag in the endzone while triple-covered against the Kansas City Chiefs a few seasons ago. Gesicki will now face off against the Dolphins twice next season in a Patriots uniform.

As for the Patriots, this is a tremendous signing for Belichick and co as the team signs arguably the best pass-catching tight end in the NFL on a cheap one-year deal. It is a very low-risk, high-reward signing for the Pats, as this could be a massive steal for them.

As for Gesicki, he will now be playing for his fourth head coach in six seasons while also trying to find chemistry with another quarterback in Mac Jones. Something of note, Gesicki will reunite with former Dolphins teammate DeVante Parker.
