Dolphins | Marcus Maye contact numbers Wed Jun 19, 09:38 AM
Updating a previous report, free-agent S Marcus Maye (Saints) signed a one-year contract worth $1.3775 million - including a $167,600 signing bonus - with the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday, June 18.
Footballguys view: Maye will provide much needed veteran depth behind Jevon Holland and Jordan Poyer. He'll compete with Elijah Campbell for snaps as the third safety. Nik Needham is also being cross-trained at safety and could figure into the position battle for the #3 safety job. Campbell could still make the team because of his special teams contributions and ability to play cornerback. |
Miami Dolphins DL Calais Campbell told reporters on Monday, June 17, that he will be 'very surprised if I don't play literally every position on the d-line at some point in time (in 2024).'
Link to storyUpdating a previous report, free-agent DL Calais Campbell (Falcons) signed an undisclosed contract with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, June 18. WR Mathew Sexton was waived to make room for him on the roster.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has not made a lot of progress in contract extension talks with the team, but the two sides are believed to be in the same ballpark in regards to the terms, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Tagovailoa spoke of his growing impatience with the lengthy negotiations. "The market is the market. That's it," Tagovailoa told reporters at minicamp. Since then, Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars received a five-year, $275 million deal that tied him with the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow for the NFL's highest annual average ($55 million per year). After leading the NFL in passing yards and earning Pro Bowl honors, it'd be a surprise if Tagovailoa was willing to take much less (if any) than that. Stay tuned. |
Free-agent DE Calais Campbell (Falcons) agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins Thursday, June 13, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: Campbell was one of the most impactful players left in free agency. The Dolphins offseason started with a lot of personnel losses, but this signing will help a defense in flux with a disruptive presence on the interior defensive line who has been a part of winning teams. He returns to where he played his college ball with this signing. |

Link to storyMiami Dolphins fourth-round draft choice RB Jaylen Wright, fifth-round draft choice LB Mohamed Kamara, sixth-round draft choice S Patrick McMorris, sixth-round draft choice WR Malik Washington and seventh-round draft choice WR Tahj Washington signed four-year contracts with the Dolphins Tuesday, June 4. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyTyreek Hill says his top priority is becoming a Dolphins player for life. He will let his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, handle it, but he hopes they do a contract restructure that helps the team and invests in him for the rest of his career.
Footballguys view: Hill and Rosenhaus have clarified that they want a new contract for the star receiver. It became a bigger priority after Justin Jefferson signed a deal Monday that will pay him $35 million per year in new money. Hill's teammate, Jaylen Waddle, and Philadelphia's A.J. Brown are other receivers who have signed deals this offseason. Hill has spent the past two seasons with the Dolphins after the trade from Kansas City and has made All-Pro both seasons. He has 238 receptions for 3,509 yards and 20 touchdowns in his time in Miami. He's scheduled to make $19.765 million this year. With prices rising, Hill is understandably excited. "Oh, it's a great day in the Hill household, man. Everybody waking up happy," Hill said. We'll see if the Dolphins make Hill even happier with a big-money extension. |
The Dolphins have a couple of offensive stars in the market for new contracts, but those desires aren't keeping either one of them from attending the team's minicamp. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill are both in attendance.
Footballguys view: Tagovailoa has been in and out of the voluntary portions of the team's offseason program as he moves into the fifth and final year of his rookie deal. McDaniel said that Tagovailoa's workload will mostly be determined by the quarterback. "We're going to have him out there, and he's going to be participating, but the depth and really across the board what he's doing that will be more up to him than anything," McDaniel said at a press conference. There doesn't appear to be much angst here as the two sides work towards a contract extension, and Tua's willingness to show up for portions of the voluntary adds to that. We'll continue watching for more. |
Miami Dolphins fourth-round pick LB Mohamed Kamara, sixth-round pick WR Malik Washington, seventh-round pick WR Tahj Washington, sixth-round pick S Patrick McMorris and fourth-round pick RB Jaylen Wright signed their rookie deals Tuesday, June 4. Financial terms weren't disclosed, but they are four-year deals.
Link to storyTyreek Hill became the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver when he signed a $120 million deal with the Miami Dolphins in 2022. Two years later, fresh off news of Justin Jefferson inking a reported $140 million extension with the Minnesota Vikings, Hill could be after his own raise, with agent Drew Rosenhaus hinting as much Monday. "Let's just say it's safe to acknowledge that I've been in touch with (general manager) Chris Grier and (executive) Brandon Shore of the Dolphins," Rosenhaus told Miami's WSVN.
Footballguys view: Hill took to social media to congratulate Jefferson: "JJettas, that's well deserved," he posted. The 30-year-old Hill is due more than $31 million in each of the next two seasons, with more than $56 million owed to the former Chiefs star in the final year of the deal. He's entering his third season with the Dolphins after topping 1,700 receiving yards in back-to-back campaigns. Hill's teammate, Jaylen Waddle, signed an extension of his own last week, a three-year, $84.75 million deal. Hill had previously suggested he only planned to play through his current contract. It's easy to understand how the current market might convince him to reconsider. |
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane could receive a bigger role in the offense this season and may be more involved in the passing game, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.
Footballguys view: Achane is going in the early third round in Underdog drafts, but this news could help push him up the board. If Achane can stay healthy, there's little doubt that he can return value on that cost. The Dolphins must have some confidence in his durability if they are thinking about increasing his role. |
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle agreed to a three-year, $84.75 million contract extension Thursday, May 30, that includes $76 million guaranteed, per sources. The deal puts him among the top five in highest-paid receivers.
Footballguys view: The price for extensions for Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins just keeps going up. Waddle's best football can still be ahead of him if he can stay healthy following a season marred by nagging injuries. Just like Nico Collins, Waddle opted for only a three-year extension so he can get back in the free agent market before the end of his prime. |
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has reported to OTAs 10 to 15 pounds lighter and is at his ideal playing weight of 220 pounds.
Footballguys view: NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that the lower weight comes from Tagovailoa seeking more agility and escapability. Wolfe, who also expects Tua and the Dolphins to agree to terms on an extension before the season starts, added the lower weight doesn't come with increased injury concerns. After Tagovailoa made it through the entire season last year, team officials believe the martial arts training the QB did last offseason paid dividends. They are comfortable with the slimmer version. |
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa reported to organized team activities Monday, May 20.
Footballguys view: OTAs are voluntary, but Tagovailoa, who had been absent up to this point, had indicated he would report despite his desire for a contract extension. The QB is heading into the fifth and final year of his rookie contract. He's guaranteed a base salary of $23.17 million this season. Until the Dolphins and Tagovailoa agree to a long-term deal (the going rate is roughly $50 million per year, there will be questions about his future in Miami. And, as Profootballtalk.com suggested, there will also be continued speculation on how much voluntary work he's willing to do. Contract aside, Tua's fantasy value remains solid. He's at the top of the QB2 list on our rankings. |
Miami Dolphins RB Salvon Ahmed appears to be 'at serious risk' of being cut during the preseason, after the team drafted RB Jaylen Wright, in the opinion of Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald.
Footballguys view: The Dolphins have a jam-packed running back room. Wright brings more speed to the fastest backfield in the NFL. The rookie is not quite Alvin Kamara, but the former Tennessee back can be dangerous as a runner and receiver in space. With Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane at the top of the depth chart, the Dolphins have three backs who can take it to the house at any given time. Ahmed will compete with guys like Jeff Wilson and Chris Brooks to see if he can make the team. |
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has been absent for most of the team's voluntary offseason work since the Dolphins reported back on April 15, according to sources.
Footballguys view: These are just voluntary workouts, so not a big deal. The Dolphins have figured out how to best work with Tagavailoa and his training regimen. Fantasy GMs can expect QB1 production in 2024. |
Undrafted free-agent DT Mario Kendricks (Virginia Tech) signed with the Miami Dolphins Tuesday, May 14. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert said he is not bothered by the team drafting RB Jaylen Wright this offseason.
Footballguys view: Mostert knows the deal. He's a seasoned veteran, and he's a running back, so Mostert knows that young players are always going to be pushing for his job. The Dolphins also have second-year RB De'Von Achane on the roster. Like Achane (and Mostert), Wright has a ton of speed and can gash defenders on the ground. We'll see how this backfield shakes out in training camp, but Dynasty GMs need to love Wright while also being patient for his opportunity. |
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill said he loves playing for the Dolphins and hopes to finish his career with the team.
Footballguys view: Yeah, that sounds about right. The Dolphins have a track team on offense, and Hill is the biggest playmaker for Mike McDaniel's offense. We'll see if they can stay healthy and make a run at a Super Bowl. Winning makes everyone happy, and we're sure hoisting a Lombardi Trophy with the Dolphins would bring a smile to Hill's face. |
Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins WR Odell Beckham Jr.'s one-year deal is worth a base value of $3 million and can go up to $8.25 million with incentives, according to a source on Friday, April 3.
Footballguys view: We're interested to see how Beckham works out with the Dolphins. He was a deep threat for the Ravens last year, and he could be that for Miami this season. Beckham is in line to be the no.3 for the Dolphins behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. |
Miami Dolphins LB Bradley Chubb (knee) said he is happy with the progress he is making from his torn anterior cruciate ligament and is taking things one day at a time.
Link to storyUpdating a previous report, free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Ravens) agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins on Friday, May 3, sources said. The contract could be worth up to $8.25 million.
Footballguys view: Beckham made the most of his opportunities last year with the Ravens. The Dolphins have two superstars in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Now, they've added yet another weapon in Beckham. We love rookie WR Malik Washington, and now he'll be competing with Beckham for the no.3 spot on the Dolphins' depth chart. |
Undrafted free-agent WR Je'Quan Burton (Florida Atlantic) signed with the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, April 27.

Link to storyMiami Dolphins DE Jaelan Phillips had his fifth-year option exercised by the team Monday, April 29.
Footballguys view: Phillips was part of a Dolphins defense that set the franchise single-season sack record (56.0) in 2023, where he tallied 6.5 sacks, a mark he's hit all three seasons. He's played in 42 games with 26 starts with Miami, totaling 146 tackles (88 solo), 22.0 sacks, one interception, five passes defensed, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries. He's just the second player in Dolphins history to begin his career with at least seven sacks in each of his first two NFL seasons. Phillips is currently DE12 on our Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings. |
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle will have his fifth-year option exercised by the team, the team announced Monday, April 29.
Footballguys view: Waddle recorded his third consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season in 2023, becoming the first player in franchise history to do so. He's started 47 games with Miami, recording 251 receptions for 3,385 yards (13.5 avg.) and 18 touchdowns. He holds the Dolphins record for the most receiving yards in the first three years of a career and set Dolphins rookie records in receptions (104) and receiving yards (1,015). Despite the impressive overall totals, Waddle, who finished as WR7 in 2022, saw his fantasy number fall off last year. The good news is his WR32 finish in 2023 could make him a value this year. |

Link to storyTennessee RB Jaylen Wright was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 120th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Footballguys view: Wow. The team with a bunch of speed gets a back who has a bunch of speed. Wright is not quite Alvin Kamara, but he can be dangerous as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield. |

Link to storyFree-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Ravens) has exchanged contract offers with the Miami Dolphins, but Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said the two sides are not close to an agreement at this point.
Footballguys view: Last year, Beckham made $16 million with the Ravens. While his presence might have helped the Ravens nail down a long-term deal with quarterback Lamar Jackson, Beckhamâ??s performance (35 catches, 565 yards, three touchdowns) didnâ??t justify the investment. At this point, it seems likely Beckham will benefit from waiting until after the draft to see if teams that hope to upgrade their receiver room donâ??t get the kind of players they want. |
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle and DE Jaelan Phillips are expected to have their fifth-year options exercised by the team before the deadline next month, according to general manager Chris Grier.
Footballguys view: The contracts will be fully guaranteed, with Waddle set to make $15.6 million and Phillipsâ??sPhillips' salary set at $13.3 million. Waddle had 72 catches for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns last season, and he's posted 251 catches for 3,385 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career. His former Alabama teammate and fellow 2021 first-rounder Devonta Smith agreed on Monday to a three-year, $75 million extension that will kick in after his fifth-year option plays out, so, as Profootballtalk.com suggests, Smith's deal could factor into Waddle's own bid for a long-term deal. For fantasy managers, having him locked into his role in Miami's high-powered offense is a win. |
