The Miami Dolphins entered the offseason set to lose three tight ends in free agency - Darren Waller, Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill. And, while they've brought Dulcich back , Hill left for the New England Patriots and Waller is still on the market.
With that, the Dolphins needed to find at least one veteran tight end to join Dulcich in the room, so they brought in former Green Bay Packer Ben Sims.
According to Over the Cap , Miami gave Sims a one-year deal worth $1.33 million for 2026. That contract includes a $1.15 million and a $187,500 signing bonus. With the signing bonus being the only guaranteed money in the deal, the Dolphins could cut Sims any time before Week 1 and only have the $187,500 dead cap hit.
At this point, it seems likely that Sims will be on the roster for Miami's 2026 campaign, but if the team finds a prospect in the draft that they fall in love with, or a veteran that shakes free later in the offseason, they could move on from Sims without a second thought.
