The Miami Dolphins were sent home by the Buffalo Bills on Super Wild Card Weekend, and now the team is preparing to go through all that comes with the offseason. There's of course the NFL draft to prepare for, but the Dolphins will also have to make decisions on their free agents as well.
One of the players Miami will have to make a decision on is tight end Mike Gesicki.

I didn’t even know I was making memories, I was just having fun. No telling what the future holds, just control what you can control. Everyone that knows me knows I would stay in South Florida forever, time will tell. No matter what and no matter where, the show goes on. . . ???? pic.twitter.com/uKWypwoMMu
