The Miami Dolphins crowded tight end room got a little thinner on Tuesday evening when the team traded one of the unit’s many veterans.
Adam Shaheen, a six-year veteran Miami acquired from Chicago in 2020, was traded to the Houston Texans for a swap of late-round selections in the 2023 NFL draft.
Miami sent Shaheen and a 2023 seventh-round pick to Houston for a 2023 sixth-round selection, but the deal mainly unloads his $1.8 million salary and will lead to the elevation of Hunter Long, who the Dolphins selected in the third round of the 2021 draft.
