The start of the 2022 NFL league year is just over two weeks away, meaning the beginning of free agency is right around the corner. The Miami Dolphins, along with every other team in the league, have started laying the groundwork for what they’d like to do.
There are 28 players that are expected to become unrestricted, restricted or exclusive-rights free agents that were on the Dolphins roster last year, including tight end Durham Smythe.
Miami originally drafted Smythe in the fourth round of the 2018 draft out of Notre Dame. Coming out of college, he was labeled as a run-blocker without much upside in the receiving game, but in recent years, he’s bringing more in that aspect.
