Miami Dolphins sign two, pass on former first-round pick of Chargers
The Miami Dolphins signed two free agents and dropped two players.
On Monday, the Miami Dolphins made several roster adjustments, primarily focusing on linebackers and tight ends. They signed tight end Ethan Conner and inside linebacker Jaheim Thomas. Simultaneously, the team waived center Jim Bonifas and cornerback Ahmari Harvey. In particular, the Dolphins focused on former first-round selection Kenneth Murray, chosen by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2020.
Murray, now 27, showcased his skills during his rookie season, earning the All-Rookie Team honor and contributing with 81 tackles in 83 games. He played for Tennessee and Dallas, with a strong performance in the 2023 season, ranking 86th among 88 linebackers according to Pro Football Focus. However, despite his impressive stats, the Dolphins did not sign Murray.
Instead, they opted for Conner and Thomas, who join the roster amid injuries to Miami's existing tight ends and linebackers. Conner, who went undrafted, played in 28 games for the Jaguars, amassing 59 receptions for 680 yards and seven touchdowns. Thomas, a former UFL player, contributed 64 tackles during his stint with the Louisville Kings.
