The Miami Dolphins have gradually begun to participate in the free-agent market after initially allowing the top-tier players to sign with other teams. They’ve now welcomed three unrestricted free agents to their lineup. The first acquisition of the day was at the backup quarterback position, with Miami securing Broncos free agent quarterback Zach Wilson on a one-year deal worth $6 million, potentially rising to $10 million with incentives.

The most significant development of the offseason so far unfolded when Miami reached an agreement with Pittsburgh offensive lineman James Daniels on a three-year contract valued at $24 million. Once he returns to full health, Daniels is expected to start as one of Miami’s guards.

Furthermore, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that Bears free agent offensive lineman Larry Borom has also agreed to join Miami. Borom, who started 27 games over his four years with the Chicago Bears, is set to boost the depth of a notoriously struggling offensive line.

Borom’s tenure as a starting tackle in Chicago saw more positives than negatives, and Miami is hopeful that his peak performance is yet to come. Given Miami’s strategic approach, Borom might be considered for a transition to the interior line, a move they attempted last year with free agent Jack Driscoll, though it didn’t work out as he was released before the season began.

Having played college football at Missouri, Borom was selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, at pick number 151, and spent four seasons in Chicago before entering unrestricted free agency. With the acquisitions of Daniels and Borom, Miami has bolstered the protection for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding their leading quarterback for the team’s success.
