The Dolphins are re-signing offensive lineman Liam Eichenberg to a one-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Eichenberg, 27, entered the NFL as a second-round pick of the Dolphins in 2021. He has played all five positions on the offensive line, making him a valuable reserve.
Eichenberg started the first 14 games of the season at right guard and played 1,035 snaps.
In his career, he has played 702 snaps at left guard, 1,182 at right guard, 964 at left tackle, 164 at right tackle and 653 at center.
The Dolphins also signed veteran right guard James Daniels and offensive lineman Larry Borom.
The Dolphins are signing free agent running back Alexander Mattison, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Miami lost Raheem Mostert to the Raiders and replaced him with a former Raiders running back. De’Von Achane is the starter with Mattison and Jaylen Wright as backups.
Mattison, 26, played 14 games with seven starts for the Raiders and had 168 touches for 714 yards and five touchdowns.
The Vikings made Mattison a third-round pick in 2019, and he spent his first five seasons in Minnesota before leaving for a one-year, $2 million deal with the Raiders a year ago.
In his career, Mattison has 852 touches for 3,802 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Da’Shawn Hand is headed West.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Hand has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chargers.
Garafolo notes the contract is worth up to $3.35 million.
Hand, 29, spent the last two seasons with the Dolphins. He appeared in all 17 games for Miami with two starts in 2024, recording 31 total tackles with five for loss, four QB hits, and a sack.
He was on the field for 53 percent of Miami’s defensive snaps and 24 percent of special teams snaps.
A Lions fourth-round pick in 2018, Hand has appeared in 64 games with 13 starts for Detroit, Tennessee, and Miami. He has 5.0 career sacks with 12 tackles for loss and nine QB hits.
Raheem Mostert has found a new team.
The running back has agreed to a one-year deal with the Raiders, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Mostert, who turns 33 in April, was a Pro Bowler in 2023 after leading the league with 21 touchdowns. But his playing time went down in 2024, as he appeared in 13 games with one start. He took just 85 carries for 278 yards with two touchdowns. He caught 19 passes for 161 yards.
The move reunites Mostert with Chip Kelly, Las Vegas’ offensive coordinator. Kelly was the Eagles head coach when Mostert entered the league with the franchise as an undrafted free agent out of Purdue. Kelly also was San Francisco’s head coach in 2016 when Mostert joined the 49ers’ practice squad.
Having dealt with several injuries over the years, Mostert has appeared in 103 games with 39 starts for the Dolphins, 49ers, Ravens, Browns, and Bears. He’s registered 3,791 yards rushing with 34 touchdowns and caught 111 passes for 899 yards with eight TDs.
K.J. Britt is moving further South in Florida.
The former Buccaneers linebacker is signing a one-year deal with the Dolphins, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Britt, 25, was a fifth-round pick in the 2021 draft. He’s appeared in 59 games with 15 starts — 11 of which came in 2024.
He had his most productive season last year, tallying 72 total tackles with two for loss and a half-sack. Britt was on the field for 65 percent of defensive snaps in games played and 29 percent of special teams snaps.
In all, Britt has posted 126 total tackles with four for loss and two QB hits.
