The Miami Dolphins clearly went into this offseason with a hole at the punter position, as Michael Palardy was becoming a free agent.
After a visit earlier in the week, the Dolphins have signed longtime New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead to a one-year deal, according to NFL Insider Adam Caplan.
Morstead, 36, joins the Dolphins after splitting last season between the New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons. He finished the year averaging 47.2 yards per attempt, his highest mark since 2016. His net average of 42 yards was also the seventh-highest for any punter in 2021.
With this deal being a one-year deal, there’s no guarantee that Morstead wins the job, but, for right now, he has no competition.
