There\u2019s a new addition in the Miami Dolphins\u2019 offensive line room.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins signed tackle Gottlieb Ayedze, 26,<\/a> on Wednesday, the team announced via X.<\/p>\n

This comes just days after Miami released<\/a> offensive lineman Kion Smith and waived tackle Carter Warren. Ayedze most recently played 10 games with the Houston Gamblers during the 2026 UFL season.<\/p>\n

An undrafted player out of Maryland<\/a>, Ayedze initially signed to the Philadelphia Eagles after in late April 2024. He was placed on the non-football injury list in late July then subsequently waived a day later.<\/p>\n

The Eagles would bring him back in middle of training camp \u2014 only to once again waive him just 10 days after signing.<\/p>\n

Ayedze would later land with the Las Vegas Raiders\u2019 practice squad prior to the team\u2019s Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. He\u2019d spend the rest of the 2024 season on the Raiders\u2019 practice squad.<\/p>\n

The Raiders would sign him to futures contract in early 2025. He would make it through OTAs and minicamp only to be subsequently waived yet again in the middle of training camp.<\/p>\n

With the Dolphins\u2019 backup tackles a bit unclear, Ayedze could potentially vie for an auxiliary role. Competition, after all, is the hallmark of the new Dolphins\u2019 regime<\/a>.<\/p>\n
