Overview

  • Miami is hosting free agent tight end Noah Fant for a third visit after he was released by the Seahawks and previously met with the Bengals and Saints.
  • Fant has recorded at least 40 receptions in five of six NFL seasons and surpassed 500 receiving yards on four occasions.
  • The team created a tight end vacancy by trading Pro Bowler Jonnu Smith and then acquired Darren Waller from the Giants.
  • Miami is assessing Waller’s health after his unretirement as it gauges whether he or Fant can lead the position.
  • A recent restructure of Minkah Fitzpatrick’s deal freed cap room to target short-term veteran tight end additions.
