The Miami Dolphins welcome another former New Orleans Saint this week. After signing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and tackle Terron Armstead this offseason, the Dolphins are signing former Saints punter Thomas Morstead to a one-year deal, per Adam Caplan of FOX Sports Radio. It’s good to see Morstead’s career continue, and even better to note he won’t have to play for the Atlanta Falcons anymore.
The Dolphins now have quite the contingent of players with Louisiana ties on their roster. Former Saints nose tackle John Jenkins, LSU’s Blake Ferguson and Duke Riley as well as UL’s Robert Hunt. With Morstead as the newest addition, many Saints fans will be excited to see his career continue. The team’s all-time leading punter, and local legend, lands with his fourth team after spending time in 2021 with both the Falcons and New York Jets. Regardless of jersey color, he always represents where it all started.
Based on 2021’s season, Morstead could be up for a busy workload. The Dolphins totaled the fifth most punts and punt yards while their offense compiled the fifth fewest first downs. But with the key additions the team has made over the offseason such as head coach Mike McDaniel, Armstead, and wide receiver Tyreek Hill, the hope will be that they see more games with Morstead napping than taking the field on fourth down.
