In 2025, the Miami Dolphins<\/a>‘ 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.<\/p>\n

However, the Dolphins<\/a> have three tight ends currently set to hit free agency – Darren Waller (UFA), Greg Dulcich (UFA) and Julian Hill (RFA).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
