In 2025, the Miami Dolphins‘ tight end room caught 74 passes for 849 yards and seven touchdowns, and with a new head coach and offensive coordinator, the team could use the position even more in 2026.
However, the Dolphins have three tight ends currently set to hit free agency – Darren Waller (UFA), Greg Dulcich (UFA) and Julian Hill (RFA).

With that, new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley will have to address the position group in the draft or through free agency.
Before the new league year starts in less than two weeks, let’s take a look at which tight ends will become free agents and could join the Dolphins for the 2026 season and beyond.
