Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe are back but how many tight ends will actually make the Dolphins roster?
Getting Gesicki back was a big win for Chris Grier and keeping Durham Smythe was potentially a better move in the long run. Smythe has a lot of talent and Mike McDaniel should get more out of him over the next two years.
The Dolphins will have big decisions to make at this position because they are not likely to carry as many as the previous regime did. That means, cuts are going to be made.
Current roster
- Cethan Carter
- Mike Gesicki
- Hunter Long
- Adam Shaheen
- Durham Smythe
Honestly, I can’t be sure that the Dolphins enter the 2022 season with more than three tight ends but if they do, I would venture to guess that Shaheen will take the fourth spot. For now, I will stick with four and that means that Carter would be the odd man out.
The big question is whether or not Hunter Long starts to see the field. As a third round pick last year, he needs to get on the field and contribute.
Roster spots: 4
Total roster: 11
