Darren Waller is set to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins on March 13, 2026. The veteran tight end played nine games for Miami in 2025, recording 24 receptions for 283 yards and six touchdowns while serving as a primary red zone target.
Despite his contributions, injuries including a hip and groin issue limited his availability. The Dolphins traded a 2026 sixth-round pick to acquire Waller and are now determining whether to use a franchise tag, re-sign him, or let him walk.
