The Cincinnati Bengals are re-signing tight end Mike Gesicki on a three-year, $25.5 million deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal includes $12 million in the 2025 season and runs through the 2027 campaign. He is also the first Bengals player to be signed to an extension this offseason.

Cincinnati has several big decisions looming with the calendar turning to the new league year on Wednesday. Star receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both are looking to sign contract extensions, although the Bengals placed a franchise tag on the latter last week. Cincinnati also will explore options for star defensive end Trey Hendrickson after his trade request.

In his first season with the Bengals, Gesicki caught 65 passes for 665 yards and two touchdowns in 2024. He was quarterback Joe Burrow's third top target behind Chase (who led the NFL with 1,708 receiving yards) and Higgins.
