According to Pro Football Network’s Mike Kaye, Gesicki and David Njoku of the Cleveland Browns are both tight end candidates who could receive franchise tags this offseason.
“Both Gesicki and Njoku are viewed as candidates to be franchise-tagged by their respective teams ahead of next week’s deadline, a league source who was granted anonymity told Pro Football Network on Monday,” Kaye wrote. “The tag is valued at around $11 million for tight ends this season.
