The New England Patriots have reportedly signed tight end Mike Gesicki to a one-year contract.
Gesicki will remain in the AFC East division after the 27-year old signed a contract with a ceiling potential for $9 million. Expect Gesicki to play a receiving role potentially in the slot after he lined up 59.0% of his career snaps inside while Hunter Henry remains the primary in-line tight end.
