Report: P Thomas Morstead visiting the Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have a clear need at the punter position with Michael Palardy still unsigned to this point.

According to Fox Sports’ Andy Slater, the Dolphins are bringing in longtime New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead for a visit on Wednesday.

Morstead spent the first 12 seasons of his NFL career with the Saints, making one Pro Bowl, before splitting time between the New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons in 2021. During last season, he averaged 47.2 yards per attempt, his highest mark since 2016 and higher than any season in Palardy’s career.

The 36-year-old also finished with the seventh-highest net average (42 yards) of any punter in 2021.

While many are expecting the Dolphins to be in on draft prospect Matt Araiza, they still may want to count on a veteran at the position instead.
