The Miami Dolphins signed a dozen players to futures deals, the team announced Tuesday.
Reserve/future deals, typically a minimum-salary contract, don’t count against the team’s salary cap or roster limit until the beginning of the next league year. Essentially that means those type of contracts are a way to keep players while roster limits haven’t yet been expanded back to a maximum of 90 players, which will happen when the new league year begins in March.
The following 12 players are set to spend the offseason with the Dolphins:
- WR Tarik Black
- LB William Bradley-King
- S Jordan Colbert
- DT Neil Farrell
- OT Ryan Hayes
- OL Chasen Hines
- LB Dequan Jackson
- CB Isaiah Johnson
- CB Jason Maitre
- T Bayron Matos
- LB Derrick McLendon
- TE Hayden Rucci
All 12 players spent time on the Dolphins’ roster in 2024 and were on the team’s practice squad at the end of the season. Hayes, a seventh-round pick in 2023, is the only player on the list who was drafted by Miami.
