On Thursday, I had just about finished a look at tight end Jalin Conyers, only to have the Miami Dolphins announce they were waiving the 2025 undrafted free agent signing. It was perfectly timed to throw off my post. Yesterday, I just did not have a chance to post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Which brings us to today\u2019s look at the Dolphins\u2019 2026 roster. Each article in the 90-in-90 series is designed to let us get a closer look at one player on the roster, breaking down who he is, what he did last year, and what could be in store for him this year. Our first two publications for 2026 were defensive players, cornerback JuJu Brents and defensive end Mason Reiger. Today, we turn to the offense with tight end Greg Dulcich.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Name: Greg Dulcich<br \/>Number: 85<br \/>Position: Tight end<br \/>Height \/ Weight: 6\u20194\u201d \/ 245<br \/>Age (at start of season): 26<br \/>Experience: 5th season (Denver Broncos 2022-2024, Chicago Bears 2024, Miami Dolphins 2025)<br \/>College: UCLA<br \/>Draft: 2022 3rd round (Broncos)<br \/>Acquired: 2025 Free Agent signing; Re-signed 2026<\/p>\n<p>Contract and 2026 salary cap<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Contract: 1 year, $3.25 million<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">2026 salary cap: $1.7 million<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Games played: 10 (3 starts)<br \/>Receptions: 26<br \/>Receiving yards: 335<br \/>Touchdowns: 1<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Dulcich started the 2025 season on Miami\u2019s practice squad, making his first appearance in Week 8. Once he did get into the game, he quickly moved from a depth piece into a key part of the offense, catching a season-high five passes in his second game (tied in Week 17). He was not a player who teams had to game plan to cover, but he did finish the year second on the team in average yards per reception for players who had at least seven receptions at 12.9 &#8211; trailing only wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. He established himself as a solid tight end who can be counted on to make the contested catch and keep the chains moving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tight end signings: Zack Kuntz, Ben Sims, Cole Turner<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Released: Jalin Conyers (waived), Zack Kuntz (waived), Chris Myarick<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Drafted: Will Kacmarek (3rd round); Seydou Traore (5th round)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Dulcich is projected to be the team\u2019s starting tight end and should serve as a possession-style receiver for new starting quarterback Malik Willis. He does not need to be a down-field, highlight-producing receiver for the team, but be the solid player who gets what he can and keeps drives alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan mentioned Dulcich during an appearance on ESPN at the NFL Owners Meetings. Asked by Kevin Clark for a player he thinks is poised to take a big step forward in 2026, Sullivan immediately replied, \u201cDulcich. I thought he had a really good back-end of the season, and I want to see if he can build on that. That\u2019s why we brought him back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Dulcich should be the starter come Week 1 and may become one of Willis\u2019s favorite targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our 90-in-90 series took a two-day break after just two articles had been posted.
