The Miami Dolphins went into this offseason with questions at tight end, as they released Cethan Carter and the pair of Mike Gesicki and Adam Shaheen were set to be free agents.
One player they didn’t have to worry about for 2023 was Durham Smythe, as he was already under contract. However, Miami has still made him a priority, as the team announced that they’ve signed the former Fighting Irish to a two-year extension.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissrro, the deal is for $7.75 million with $5.5 million fully guaranteed. It includes a raise to $4.5 million for 2023, and the new total max value of his deal is $8.75 million.
The Dolphins are still lacking a top tight end on their roster, but as evidenced last year, Smythe plays a valuable role in Mike McDaniel’s offense.
