The 6-foot-2, 211-pound receiver is a six-time Pro Bowler and has eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving plateau on six occasions during his 12-year NFL career.<\/p>\n<p>Allen was a Pro Bowler as recently as the 2023 season when he caught 108 passes for 1,243 yards with the <a href=\"https:\/\/chargerswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tyreek Hill\u00a0and\u00a0Jaylen Waddle\u00a0give the Dolphins two excellent outside receivers, but there are questions about the slot. Right now, Miami&#8217;s top slot options are the Washington &#8220;not-brothers,&#8221; two low-round draft picks from a year ago. In 2024,\u00a0Malik Washington\u00a0had just 26 catches for 223 yards with no touchdowns, while\u00a0Tahj Washington\u00a0missed his entire rookie season with an undisclosed injury. That makes Miami the perfect landing spot for a seasoned veteran slot receiver like Allen.<\/p>\n<p>Allen is 33 but still had 70 catches for 744 yards and seven touchdowns in Chicago a season ago. He did poorly in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/espnanalytics.com\/receivers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN&#8217;s receiver tracking metrics<\/a>\u00a0last season but still got open, as indicated by his 57 open score. Hill and Waddle would give Allen a ton of room to work with underneath, giving quarterback\u00a0Tua Tagovailoa\u00a0a nice security blanket. &#8211; Aaron Schatz, ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>Another veteran pass-catcher would be a welcome sight for Tagovailoa and Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. Mixing in Allen alongside Hill, Waddle and perhaps tight end Jonnu Smith is exciting to think about.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/overthecap.com\/salary-cap-space#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Over The Cap<\/a>, the Miami Dolphins still have $13.7 million in effective cap space ahead of the 2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ESPN proposed one final offseason move for the Miami Dolphins.
