Dolphins Sign Veteran Long Snapper Taybor Pepper

The move sets up a head-to-head competition at long snapper as Miami sizes up its specialists through the offseason.

Overview

Miami announced the signing Thursday as it continues to sort out its special-teams battery.
Pepper, who turns 32 in May, returns after snapping for the Dolphins in 2019 and spending five seasons with the 49ers, having been released last March and sitting out the 2025 season.
He will compete with Tucker Addington at long snapper, with Addington owning 10 career games compared with Pepper’s roughly 100.
Following a recent agreement with punter Bradley Pinion, the Dolphins are carrying two options at kicker, punter and long snapper heading into workouts and camp.
Contract terms were not disclosed; Pepper’s prior 49ers deals averaged $1.04 million and $1.32 million per year, though any similar figure now remains speculative given his 2025 absence and Miami’s tight cap.
