The Miami Dolphins are bringing back the running back tandem of Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr., according to multiple sources Tuesday.
The return of the duo essentially solves the Dolphins’ backfield puzzle this offseason as the team began free agency with all of its active-roster tailbacks from last season entering free agency. Rumors were swirling of Miami exploring options for trades for top running backs like the Titans’ Derrick Henry or Vikings’ Dalvin Cook.
Both are on two-year deals. Mostert’s contract is for two years and $5.6 million with $2.2 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network. ESPN reported the deal can be worth up to $7.6 million with incentives. Wilson’s contract, according to a source, has a max value of $8.2 million.
