Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network is reporting that the Miami Dolphins and Tight End Mike Gesicki haven’t exchanged offers on a long-term deal at this time and have not engaged in contract talks. If no long-term deal is signed by Friday, July 15th at 4 pm then Gesicki will play this season on the franchise tag and will be an unrestricted free agent after the upcoming 2022 season.
From @NFLTotalAccess: With a week to go for franchise-tagged players to sign long-term deals, we assessed where they stand now. The #Cowboys and TE Dalton Schultz will make another run at it, while the #Dolphins and TE Mike Gesicki haven’t exchanged offers of late. pic.twitter.com/nmhXkgtezX

Per the NFL rule, if a long-term deal isn’t signed by July 15th, the team and player are not allowed to work on a long-term deal until after the season.
More on this story as it develops.

Or he gets tagged again
I don’t think this is a big deal at all
Tagging him again means you pay him 120% of his current salary which would be more than half the QB’s in this league. He will NOT be tagged again. That is unrealistic and why this is a big story
