Miami Dolphins Release Pro Bowl RB Raheem Mostert After Three Seasons

The veteran running back, who led the NFL in touchdowns in 2023, will save the team nearly $3 million in cap space as they reshape their roster.

Raheem Mostert's agent confirmed on social media that the Miami Dolphins are releasing the veteran running back after three seasons with the team.
Mostert had a standout 2023 season, rushing for 1,012 yards and leading the NFL with 21 total touchdowns, earning his first Pro Bowl selection.
The 32-year-old saw a significant decline in 2024, rushing for just 278 yards and two touchdowns while losing his role as the featured back to De'Von Achane.
By releasing Mostert, the Dolphins will clear $2.9 million in salary cap space, though they will incur a $1 million dead cap hit.
The move reflects Miami's effort to get younger at the position, with Achane and rookie Jaylen Wright expected to lead the backfield in 2025.
