That leaves Uzo, OJ, and Gronk as the biggest names. I really think that a team like, maybe the Chargers(?) offers CJ the bag. They really like Gesicki, per rumors, but I have a hard time seeing the Dolphins letting him go.
Dolphins might not want to pick that fight.
If they tag Gesicki he's going to fight to be tagged as a WR and will probably win. Last year he ran 92% of his routes from the slot or out wide, and he pass blocked on a grand total of 11 snaps all year. The defensive position that covered his routes the most last year? Cornerback.
Gesecki is good, but I don't think he's good enough to risk potentially being stuck with a $19m franchise tag number and setting a new precedent for the future of franchise tag fights.
Then again, maybe they just don't care. They certainly have the cap space.
