- Former Dolphins RB says he would love to return to Miami in 2026
Entering this offseason, the Miami Dolphins probably won't have to make many changes to their running back room, as four of the five guys are set to return, and the only one who isn't, Alexander Mattison , missed the entire season with a neck injury.
Still, Miami could be looking for another veteran to add to the room, and former Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is already putting his name in the ring to return to the team.

"Honestly, I would love to go to Miami," Mostert told Colin Cowherd this week . "I know Hafley and Slowik, the offensive coordinator, I know them very well, they were with me at the Niners. I remember when [Hafley], he was the DB coach, and I had nothing but respect for him because he had his DBs playing well. The same thing with [Slowik]. I know [Slowik]. I was with his brother in Miami too, so I know that family. They're great people."
Mostert had a short stint with the Dolphins in 2015 and returned for three years from 2022-24. During that second stretch, he rushed for 2,181 yards and 23 touchdowns on 4.6 yards per attempt while catching 75 passes for an additional 538 yards and five scores.
The Las Vegas Raiders signed Mostert to a one-year deal last season, and he spent the season as first-round pick Ashton Jeanty 's backup. The 33-year-old rushed for 104 yards on 4.7 yards per attempt and caught 12 passes for 70 yards in 2025.
