Dolphins | Six players signed to futures contract Wed Jan 7, 12:18 AM
Miami Dolphins WR A.J. Henning, DT Alex Huntley, LB Derrick McLendon, LB K.C. Ossai, OL Josh Priebe and OL Kion Smith were signed to reserve/futures contracts Tuesday, Jan. 6.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa indicated that he is open to playing for a different team next season.
| Footballguys view: When Tagovailoa was benched following a Dec. 15 loss to the Steelers, it seemed likely his time in Miami was coming to an end. Asked on Monday if he was hoping for a fresh start, Tagovailoa said, "That would be dope. I would be good with it." Tagovailoa is owed $54 million guaranteed in 2026. He could be released with a post-June 1 designation at the start of the new league year to split his $99.2 million cap charge over two years. Mike McDaniels' return as HC would all but guarantee Tua's departure. We'll watch for more on all this. |

San Francisco 49ers director of football operations Josh Z. Williams has been sought after for an interview by the Miami Dolphins for their general manager vacancy.
| Footballguys view: In addition to Williams, the first set of names includes 49ers vice president of player personnel Tariq Ahmad, Eagles assistant G.M. Alec Halaby, Rams assistant G.M. John McKay, and Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan. As Profootballtalk.com noted, Halaby, Sullivan, and Williams have made the interview rounds in recent years, and all five candidates work for teams that have been regulars in the playoffs in recent seasons. The Dolphins have missed the postseason the last two years and would like their eventual hire to have a hand in ending that drought. |
Dolphins rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers appears to have avoided a worst-case outcome following a knee injury in the Week 18 finale against the Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Ewers went down in the fourth quarter with Miami trailing 38-10. It immediately sparked concern, given the non-contact nature of the play. However, head coach Mike McDaniel offered cautious optimism after the game, revealing the initial evaluation showed a "stable knee" and "not what people would fear." That was a notable sigh of relief for a franchise already staring at a pivotal offseason with many questions -- including head coach and QB. |

Washington Commanders practice squad RB Donovan Edwards was signed to the Miami Dolphins 53-man roster Friday, Jan. 2. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) is questionable for Week 18 against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: With no playoff hopes, there's no reason for the Dolphins to push Waddle out there on Sunday if he isn't 100 percent. Fantasy managers relying on him should plan for a pivot option, as he could be limited or pulled early, even if he is active. |
Jaylen Waddle player page
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Jan. 2.
| Footballguys view: With the Dolphins' season mathematically over after this game, Achane's likelihood of suiting up on Sunday is bleak. If he doesn't play, expect Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon to shoulder the backfield workload. Mike McDaniel said, "guys who don't practice on Friday typically don't play," so we'd be shocked to see him out there. |
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (groin) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Jan. 2.
| Footballguys view: That will end Waller's season after he surprisingly unretired this offseason. There were flashes throughout his campaign, sandwiched between frequent injuries and rest days. He'll now become a free agent, and the 34-year-old will have time to decide whether he wants to run it back next year or retire again. |
