Three compelling free agents who may be of use to the Miami Dolphins’ offense in 2026
The Miami Dolphins’ free agency spending appears to be just about done. But if the team wants to add more on offense, who may be a fit?
The Miami Dolphins‘ roster churn has brought them plenty of new faces via free agency. Things won’t always be so busy in this phase of the roster. But Miami had little choice in 2026.
Countless players from the 2025 team were expiring free agents. New Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan targeted only a handful of the best of them to bring them back. The rest? It’s brand new. And, for the most part, it appears to be done. But if Sullivan wants to add a few more meaningful additions, the fit has to make sense. Who are some players who could fit the bill on offense?
Three compelling offensive free agents who may be of use to the Miami Dolphins in 2026
Wide receiver Gabe Davis
Davis hasn’t been the same player since he first left Buffalo in 2024 and vacated the role he’d carved out for himself playing with Josh Allen. The contract he signed with Jacksonville turned disastrous overnight. He went from averaging nearly 800 yards and 7 scores a season to just 24 yards a game. The Jaguars cut him loose after one season and Davis was signed back to the Bills practice squad in the summer of 2025.
His second run in Buffalo fizzled too. But he’s still just 27 years old, is a physical player and has historically won downfield when at his best. Davis split the season between the Bills practice squad and active roster — he collected less than $400k in total compensation last season. So he’s relatively young, cheap, and has been productive in the past.
Running back Zamir White
The Dolphins have kicked the tires on White already this offseason, as they had him in for a workout. The fifth-year running back also reportedly had a workout with the Cowboys recently. So there’s interest. White’s career production has not been good but it also comes with an asterisk. The Raiders’ running game and offensive line has been horribly inconsistent during White’s four seasons with the team.
If the team wants someone to push the short-yardage role of Ollie Gordon, this could be a legitimate add. And, as we said, we know Miami is interested.
Tight end Will Dissly*
Speaking of asterisks. Dissly feels like he would be a wonderful addition for the Miami Dolphins’ tight end room. He provides a floor as an in-line player with strong blocking chops. He caught 50 passes for the Chargers in 2024, too. But he was released this spring with a failed injury designation after a trying 2025 season. A knee injury early in the year cost him time and he never seemed to recover.
Is Dissly healthy? Or are the residuals lingering? If Dissly is healthy, he’d be logical insurance for a rookie wall for Will Kacmarek. But the price would need to be right, too. Dissly played last season for over $4 million, which is a price point we can safely assume Miami won’t touch.
