Same old Cowboys offseason with one giant exception

The Cowboys' offseason has been marked by a familiar pattern, but one significant exception stands out

Trade: Jalen Tolbert

Jalen Tolbert Carries Redraft Sleeper Appeal at Current ADP

Jalen Tolbert, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys, joins the Miami Dolphins for the 2026 season. After a limited role in Dallas last year, Tolbert showed promise in 2024 with 49 catches, 610 yards, and 7 TDs. He now has an opportunity to be a key pass-catcher for the Dolphins outside of De'Von Achane, especially with questions surrounding the passing game and QB Malik Willis. His current ADP of WR98 makes him a sleeper target

Will Malik Washington Matter for Fantasy Even as the Dolphins WR1?

When the Miami Dolphins reconvene for training camp at the end of the month, they will do so with one of the league's most unproven wide receiver rooms, giving third-year veteran Malik Washington a chance to earn an important starting role. Washington caught 46 passes for the Dolphins in 2025, which trails only De'Von Achane among the handful of players still with the team, while free agent acquisitions Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Terrace Marshall Jr. combined for only 24 receptions last season. Miami spent three of its 13 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on receivers, but with the headliner of that group, Chris Bell, still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in his final game with Louisville, some of Washington's stiffest competition for a spot atop the depth chart could come from third-rounder Caleb Douglas and fifth-rounder Kevin Coleman Jr. With a new coaching staff and a new quarterback in Malik Willis, the Dolphins will be rebuilding their offense from scratch. If Washington can earn his way into a featured role, he's a smart bet to outperform his current ADP of WR70, though how much of a difference that will actually mean for fantasy is still up for debate, as Miami projects to have one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league

Caleb Douglas Not Yet Worth a Redraft Pick

Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas has a path to snaps, but that alone does not make him a redraft sleeper. Miami selected him 75th overall after he posted 54 catches for 846 yards and seven touchdowns at Texas Tech, his second straight season with at least 54 receptions and 840 yards. At 6-foot-4 with a 4.39-second 40, Douglas brings a size-speed profile that stands out in an unsettled receiver room. The opportunity is real after the Dolphins released Tyreek Hill and traded Jaylen Waddle. So is the competition. Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Jalen Reagor, and fellow rookies Chris Bell (knee) and Kevin Coleman Jr. are all fighting for work. Miami is also replacing Tua Tagovailoa after releasing him and signing Malik Willis. Douglas is currently WR107 and 265th overall in RotoBaller's PPR rankings. That is deep-league territory, not a player fantasy managers need to force onto standard rosters. Douglas is worth tracking through training camp, especially if he earns regular outside snaps, but he can stay undrafted in most 12-team leagues for now

2026 NFL offensive infrastructure rankings: Which teams have best set up their quarterback for success?

This article ranks NFL teams based on their offensive infrastructure, focusing on the support systems in place for quarterbacks. It highlights the Miami Dolphins as having the worst infrastructure around Malik Willis, citing a lack of talent in the pass-catching department including Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell, Chris Bell, Greg Dulcich, and Will Kacmarek. The Tennessee Titans are also discussed, with concerns about the support for Cam Ward despite upgrades at wide receiver with Wan'Dale Robinson and Carnell Tate, and the hiring of Brian Daboll. The article notes that the offensive line remains an issue for the Titans

Should Dolphins pursue a veteran wide receiver?

The Miami Dolphins ’ wide receiver room will look vastly different in 2026 than it has in recent memory. Veterans Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are no longer on the roster. The organization replaced them with free agents Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert , while also drafting three receivers in the middle rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft — Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman Jr. However, multiple recognizable names at the position are still available in free agency. Would the Dolphins be interested in bringing in an accomplished veteran to lead the unit and help mentor their young pass catchers while the trio attempts to acclimate to the pro game? Let’s take a look at some potential fits who could help Miami’s offense. Stefon Diggs Stefon Diggs is arguably the most talented option available. Even at 32, he remains an elite route runner capable of creating separation and producing against top defensive backs. Diggs surpassed 1,000 receiving yards during his 2025 season with the New England Patriots , proving he can still perform at a high level in the NFL. His fiery nature and playmaking ability would immediately provide a top weapon for quarterback Malik Willis , but his price tag and desire for a significant role could complicate a potential fit considering the Dolphins’ goal of developing their youngsters. Deebo Samuel Deebo Samuel is a unique type of weapon. While he’s no longer the ultra-explosive, Swiss-Army-Knife playmaker he was during his peak with the San Francisco 49ers , Samuel still offers versatility as both a receiver and runner. His physical style could add another dimension to Miami’s offense, particularly on short passes with yards-after-catch opportunities. However, recent production dips suggest he has lost some effectiveness, raising concerns about whether his best football is behind him. Samuel has not surpassed 1,000 yards from scrimmage since 2023. Keenan Allen Keenan Allen may be the safest option for the Dolphins. He isn’t going to outrun defenses at his age (34-years old), but few receivers have been better at finding open space, moving the chains and serving as a quarterback’s security blanket. Malik Willis could benefit from a player like that. Allen’s experience, leadership and reliable hands could make him an ideal complement in critical passing situations, especially if Miami is looking for a dependable veteran who can help mentor their young players, rather than a clear-cut #1 wide receiver. ___ The Dolphins don’t need to sign a veteran receiver just because multiple “big names” remain available. Ultimately, the team may decide to see how their young players look in training camp before dipping their toes back into the free agency pool. Decision makers have a fine line to walk when it comes to providing enough weaponry to be able to properly evaluate quarterback Malik Willis, while not sacrificing crucial development opportunities for their rookies. We’ll see what general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan decides to do as the offseason continues to move along

4 NFL teams having the most puzzling offseasons: What are Colts, Jaguars doing?

USA TODAY Sports examines NFL teams who made the most puzzling offseason decisions

ESPN ranks Dolphins playmakers worst in NFL

We’re officially smack dab in the doldrums of summer when it comes to the National Football League. Free agency has slowed to a crawl, the NFL Draft has come and gone, and teams are on break until late next month when training camps open around the league. With little news to report, media outlets are scrambling to churn out content, which means lists and rankings are hitting the internet on the daily. Today’s list comes from Bill Barnwell of ESPN. He’s ranking all 32 skill position groups (running backs, tight ends and wide receivers) to see which teams have the best playmakers surrounding their quarterbacks. Unfortunately for Miami ’s new signal-caller, Malik Willis , Barnwell thinks the Dolphins have the worst skill position players in the entire league. “Unfortunately, this might be the worst receiving corps I’ve seen assembled on purpose by an NFL team in recent memory. Third and fourth wideouts such as Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell are the veterans being forced into starting roles. Third-round picks Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas — who might be fourth or fifth wideouts in other lineups — are going to be pushed into the lineup by midseason. I’m a little excited about Greg Dulcich , who was second in the NFL in yards per route run among tight ends from Week 9 onward last season, but he’ll need to be prime Travis Kelce to make this group of receivers work.” Yikes. It seems harsh, but in all honesty, Barnwell is being realistic. It’s hard to get excited about what Miami will trot out at wide receiver, unless one or two of the rookies surprise in a major way. While Miami’s pass catchers are suspect, Barnwell does give running back De’Von Achane his flowers. “De’Von Achane is the last one standing from the group that ranked among the best in the NFL two years ago. Achane is a legitimately great back, capable of both patiently getting what’s blocked and producing spectacularly explosive big plays if given any sort of open space. I worry he won’t see much of that playing within the structure of this offense in 2026, but we’re evaluating the fourth-year pro independent of the players around him.” It’s going to be a tough year in South Florida regarding this once proud franchise. Hopefully, despite the lack of significant weapons, the organization is able to get a solid read on whether or not Willis is the quarterback to build around moving foward, because if this season goes as poorly as many are predicting, Miami will be picking high enough in the draft to replace him with a standout collegiate passer once the 2027 NFL Draft arrives… if they need to

Miami Dolphins News - Most concerning unit on the Dolphins roster

Training camp is just around the corner for the Miami Dolphins . They have retooled their roster and have turned it into one of the youngest ones in the league. But with all that roster turnover, there are some units who aren’t as strong as the other units. The wide receiver room is one of those weak points as there is no more Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle . Malik Washington is the only returning starting veteran and he is surrounded by some young, unproven talent along with two veterans in Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert . This team isn’t expected to be a pass heavy offense, but someone is going to have to catch the ball. You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

Can Jalen Tolbert Find Fantasy Relevance in a Wide-Open Dolphins Receiver Room?

Jalen Tolbert joins the Miami Dolphins on a one-year deal, entering a receiver room with limited established production. Despite a history of inconsistency with the Cowboys, Tolbert's 2024 reception total is the highest among Dolphins receivers. While Miami drafted several wideouts in 2026, Tolbert's versatility may secure him an early role. However, his fantasy ceiling is limited by the projected low-scoring offense and his own ADP

2026 Season Outlook

Tolbert joined a WR-needy Dolphins team on a one-year deal after Miami cut Tyreek Hill and traded Jaylen Waddle to Denver. The 2026 NFL Draft brought rookie third-rounders Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell (who is bouncing back from an ACL injury), plus fifth-rounder Kevin Coleman, to compete with Tolbert, fellow free-agent Tutu Atwell and incumbent Malik Washington. Among the group, Tolbert is arguably the most proven NFL producer, having posted a 49-610-7 line on 79 targets in 2024 with Dallas, though he put up only 203 yards in 2025. If Tolbert is able to develop chemistry with new QB Malik Willis, it wouldn't be out of the question for him to earn a consistent role in Miami's offense in 2026

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: WR Ryan Flournoy

In 2026, Ryan Flournoy feels about as locked in to his role with the Dallas Cowboys as a player can be. Ahead of his third season, Flournoy enters training camp wth a firm spot on the WR depth chart, even if he takes his game to another level. Years in NFL: 2 Acquired by: 2024 6th-round pick Flournoy rode an impressive college career at Southeast Missouri State to NFL draft consideration in 2024. He offered physicality, athleticism, and proven ball skills, but was knocked for a lack of refinement in his technique and his small-school experience. As such, he dropped to the later rounds before the Cowboys finally took him in the sixth. In his first camp and preseason, Flournoy made strong early impressions. His good hands and physical running after the catch were immediately noticeable. Some even drew comparisons to Cowboys legend Dez Bryant , at least stylistically. The hype was enough that Dallas didn’t risk Flournoy on the practice squad as a rookie, going long with six receivers to keep him safe. He would appear in 11 games due to various injuries, but didn’t get many looks with just 10 catches on 14 targets. Last August, Flournoy was surprisingly waived at final cuts. But the team brought him back almost immediately, using the roster spot to facilitate its trade for backup offensive lineman Trevor Keegan . It ultimately felt more like roster math hijinks than an indictment on Flournoy, but Dallas did risk losing him to waivers. Thankfully they avoided that outcome. After limited work in the first four games, Flournoy got the start in Week 5 due to a CeeDee Lamb injury. He produced 114 yards on six catches, making the Jets pay for keying on George Pickens . It was the start of Flournoy’s emergence as Dallas’ clear number-three receiver, which Jalen Tolbert and Jonathan Mingo had failed to do. Flournoy finished 2025 with 40 catches, 475 yards, and four touchdowns on just 56 targets. Years Left: 1 2026 Cap Hit: $1.08 million Had Flournoy not been waived last year, his original rookie deal would still be in effect through 2027. But when Dallas signed him back off the practice squad, it was to just a two-year contract. Flournoy is the winner here, likely cashing in on his success next spring with about a $5 million raise as a retricted free agent. Depending on where things are with Pickens’ contract, we’ll see if the Cowboys try to lock up Flournoy with a long-term deal before he’d be unrestricted in 2028. Role: WR3 Roster Chance: 100% Again, this couldn’t be much simpler. As long as the Pickens negotiations go better than Dallas’ last financial fray with a star player, we know who the starting receivers will be. Flournoy remains clearly at number three as the Cowboys did not make any major moves at receiver this offseason. Turpin is still here as the return specialist and gadget guy on offense, but he’s not threatening to move up. Mingo is fighting just to stay in the league at this point, as is 31-year-old Marques Valdes-Scantling and fellow veteran Tyler Johnson. They’ll be battling young prospects like Traeshon Holden , Anthony Smith, Jordan Hudson, and others for the fifth and maybe sixth spots on the roster. Of course, we never know if a young guy like Holden or Smith could make a stunning push. After all, we just saw that from Flournoy himself. But with continuity on offense and an upward trajectory from last year, Flournoy appears highly likely to keep advancing. And if Pickens does end up playing on the franchise tag, Flournoy has an opportunity to convince the Cowboys they already have a replacement ready for 2027. That potential should keep Flournoy hungry this season, even without much pressure beneath him.

This Cowboys receiver has extremely high expectations for 2026

One of the biggest surprises from a disappointing 2025 season was seeing second-year wide receiver Ryan Flournoy take on a bigger role in the Cowboys offense. Flournoy, a 2024 sixth-round pick out of Southeast Missouri, played in 11 games his rookie year as a role player, but stepped into a much bigger role last season as a key contributor. Flournoy was waived in August, but was thankfully not claimed by another team and signed back to the Cowboys practice squad. Flournoy was signed to the active roster on September 9th and immediately started making an impact on offense when called upon. With CeeDee Lamb , George Pickens , and Jake Ferguson getting a majority of the work from the Cowboys’ receivers, it was impressive to see Flournoy post two 100-yard receiving games throughout the season, and he really blossomed into the teams WR3 towards the end of the season, where he averaged 35 receiving yards and caught two touchdowns over the final five games of the 2025 regular season. In an offense that possesses two dynamic weapons, it sometimes hard for the role players to stand out, but Flournoy has impressed in limited opportunities, and he’s carrying over a hot end to the 2025 season with a hot start to the Cowboys 2026 OTA practices. It seems to be a common theme every offseason for a Cowboys receiver to really shine over the course of an entire offseason, but struggle to carry offseason success into the regular season. Being that we’ve already seen Flournoy have success in the NFL during the regular season, year three for Flournoy is already picking up some buzz from Cowboys’ beat writers and analysts around the NFL. With Jalen Tolbert now in Miami and KaVontae Turpin struggling as a receiver the last season or two, Ryan Flournoy is penciled in as the Cowboys WR3, and while some may be writing that in with a pencil, early indications say that should be written in with a permanent marker. How many yards and TDs do you think Flournoy will get in 2026?

What to make of the Jalen Reagor signing – The Splash Zone 6/4/26

The Miami Dolphins signed veteran wide receiver Jalen Reagor, adding competition to a weak receiving corps. Reagor faces an uphill battle to make the roster, competing with rookies and players like Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell, and Jalen Tolbert. The signing, along with news of Jamaree Salyer leaving minicamp on a cart, highlights potential roster flux for the Dolphins

Jeff Hafley’s best soundbites from the first day of mandatory minicamp

The Miami Dolphins held their first day of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, with just one week left until Dolphins complete their offseason program with the final week of OTAs. As such, head coach Jeff Hafley held a press conference afterwards and gave a slew of answers about quarterbacks Malik Willis and Quinn Ewers , who he thinks may wear the “green dot” on defense, and what he expects from edge rusher Chop Robinson going into his third season. When asked about Willis, Hafley stated that “it’s going to be a work in progress” in regards to him developing chemistry with Miami ’s receivers. Of course, it doesn’t help that Malik Washington is the only returning receiver from last season. He is currently accompanied by veterans Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert , as well as rookies Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman. Former first round pick Jalen Reagor also signed with the team earlier today, and should bring some much needed competition to the room. Hafley also singled out Ewers, saying “I’m really pleased with him right now. I want Quinn to continue to get better and battle, and compete and do everything to show us he’s the best QB on the field.” On Miami’s linebackers, Hafley said that he’s preparing for all possibilities in regards to who will wear the “green dot” on defense. For those unaware, only one player on defense is allowed a helmet equipped with coach-to-player radio communication, and this player must wear a green dot on their helmet. Essentially, this player is the “quarterback of the defense”, and relays play calls to the rest of the team while also being responsible for pre-snap alignments. It’s a huge responsibility, and Hafley mentioned that he prefers for all safeties and linebackers to wear the green dot throughout camp, to train them for all possible scenarios. That includes rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, who is expected to play a big role for the Dolphins in 2026. Finally, Hafley mentioned that he “wants more” from edge rusher Chop Robinson, who is coming off a disappointing 2025 season in which he tallied just four sacks. Mandatory minicamp ends on June 4th, with OTAs set to resume on June 8th, June 9th, and June 11th
