The Dolphins re-signed one of their top receiving options<\/p>\n
The Miami Dolphins<\/a> were busy on the first day of the NFL\u2019s legal tampering period of free agency. First, they announced they were releasing Pro Bowl quarterback Tua Tagovailoa<\/a> after six years in a move that will result in Miami taking on over $99 million in dead money over two seasons.<\/p>\n Then, Miami traded defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets<\/a> for a seventh-round pick, in a move that will generate some salary-cap space for the Dolphins. Once the Dolphins parted ways with those two players, they began making additions as they signed free agent quarterback Malik Willis<\/a> to a three-year, $67 million contract.\u00a0<\/p>\n Willis was the biggest move of the day for the Dolphins, as it signified the new quarterback for Miami heading into the 2026 season. However, he was not the only addition Miami made in free agency, as they re-signed one of their top playmakers from the second half of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n Miami Dolphins Re-Sign Greg Dulcich<\/p>\n ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler announced<\/a> that the Miami Dolphins had re-signed tight end Greg Dulcich to a one-year, $3.25 million contract. Dulcich appeared in 10 games for the Dolphins during the 2025 season, but finished the year strong. He totaled 222 receiving yards over the final five games of the season, which would have put him on a 754-yard pace for a 17-game season.<\/p>\n Dulcich was listed as the No. 115 free agent by The Athletic. They gave the Dolphins an \u2018A\u2019 grade for his re-signing. The Athletic\u2019s Mike Jones wrote<\/a>, \u201cAdded to the Dolphins\u2019 practice squad and then activated midway through last season, Dulcich excelled, recording 26 catches for 335 yards and a touchdown in 10 games. He had five games with a 100-percent catch rate and proved himself as a dangerous downfield threat. Now he returns with hopes of building on that success following pass-game coordinator Bobby Slowik\u2019s promotion to offensive coordinator.\u201d<\/p>\n Regarding his role on the 2026 Dolphins, Sports Illustrated\u2019s Alain Poupart said,<\/a> \u201cWhile projecting him as a starter might be a reach at this time, Dulcich figures to get some kind of role on the offense that now will be led by Willis. The Dolphins no doubt would love to complement him with a blocking option, and re-signing Hill at some point remains a possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n Dolphins Free Agency<\/p>\n While the trade of Minkah Fitzpatrick, and the previous releases of players like Tyreek Hill, Alec Ingold, and Jason Sanders generated cap space for the Dolphins, Miami will still need to become cap compliant once the league year begins on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Those moves allowed the Dolphins the possibility of signing someone like Malik Willis and retaining Dulcich, but the team is currently $1.8 million over the cap.One player who could be on the chopping block to generate cap space is linebacker Tyrel Dodson, who started 16 games for the Dolphins in the 2025 season. Poupart wrote,<\/a> \u201cThe one player remaining who looks like a potential cut candidate is linebacker Tyrel Dodson, who the Dolphins could release to create $3 million of cap space. But Dodson\u2019s cap number currently is $3.8 million, which isn\u2019t very high for the production he provided in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJose Esquer<\/a> Jose Esquer is a Mexican-American sportswriter and communications student based in San Diego, CA.
