Dolphins sign veteran WR Willie Snead IV, waive DL Mario Kendricks

The Miami Dolphins added another veteran to their wide receiving corps by signing Willie Snead on Wednesday.

Snead, 31, most recently had a two-year stint with the San Francisco 49ers, but bounced on and off the practice squad. He appeared in eight games with the team and caught just two passes for 14 yards.

Prior to that, Snead spent time with the New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, and Las Vegas Raiders. Through his first two seasons in the NFL, Snead had 141 receptions for 1,879 yards, but he hasn’t managed to eclipse 700 yards in a season since.

The Dolphins aren’t particularly thin at the receiver position after rounding out the depth chart in the offseason by adding Odell Beckham Jr. and draft picks Malik Washington and Tahj Washington to the mix. However, Tahj Washington landed on Miami’s injured reserve and will likely miss his entire rookie season.

Snead will compete with Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft, Erik Ezukanma, and Anthony Schwartz for the final roster spots at receiver.

To make room for Snead, the Dolphins waived defensive lineman Mario Kendricks, an undrafted rookie who signed with the team after the 2024 NFL draft.
