Eagles, Buccaneers have 4 former Dolphins wild-card matchup

The Miami Dolphins have been eliminated from the postseason following their 27-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night.

So, while Dolphins fans prepare for the offseason, there are a number of former Dolphins who are still playing for a Super Bowl championship that they can support.

On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to battle in a wild-card matchup of their own, and there are four former Dolphins on their rosters and practice squads.

Here’s a look at which players who once donned the aqua and orange will play in this one:

Buccaneers RB Chase Edmonds

Edmonds signed a two-year contract with Miami last offseason but was traded at the deadline as part of the package for linebacker Bradley Chubb.

In eight games for the Dolphins, he rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns on 2.9 yards per attempt while bringing in another 96 yards and a score on 10 receptions.

Buccaneers CB Dee Delaney

Delaney was claimed by Miami back in 2018 after being waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars as a rookie. He was quickly moved to their practice squad and was waived the upcoming offseason, so he never played a regular-season game for the Dolphins.

Buccaneers RB Patrick Laird

Laird was signed by Miami as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and spent three seasons with the team before signing with Tampa Bay.

In 37 games with the Dolphins, Laird recorded 244 yards and one touchdown on 3.2 yards per carry. He also added 289 yards on 36 receptions.

Buccaneers WR Raleigh Webb

Webb was signed to Miami’s practice squad after he was cut by the New England Patriots after this past preseason. He was released back in November and never played in a game for the Dolphins.
