The Miami Dolphins have a lot of players drawing attention this offseason, with Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb, and Tua Tagovailoa being the clear headliners.

Hill and Chubb are free agents, and Tagovailoa might not be far behind. And with Darren Waller also a free agent, some interesting players could be leaving the Dolphins for new teams in free agency.

But one of the more interesting is a veteran tight end, and it's not Waller. Instead, as ESPN's Bill Barnwell identified, Greg Dulcich might draw some serious interest this offseason in free agency.

Dolphins' Greg Dulich might draw serious FA interest​

Dulcich is a 25-year-old tight end who previously was with the Denver Broncos for a few years. He left, joining the Dolphins in 2025, finally being activated in Week 8 for his first NFL action this past season.

He finished the year with 335 receiving yards and one touchdown on 26 receptions. As Brnwell noted, from Week 9 on, "Dulich averaged 2.7 yards per route run, which was second behind George Kittle among tight ends who ran 100 routes over that span."

While Dulcich isn't Kittle by any means, as Barnwell writes, "but somebody's going to pay a little bit to see whether that late-season performance was real."

This past season, Waller drew a lot of attention for his play with the Dolphins thanks to his wild story. He came out of retirement and put up 283 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 24 receptions in nine games this past season.

While he didn't exactly have an extensive season, Waller certainly would draw interest in free agency. He's still 25 years old, and asa former third-round pick, there could be some potential in a good offense with Dulcich.

A team like the Philadelphia Eagles could make a lot of sense for Dulcich, as he's going to be cheap and could be on the cusp of breaking out as an NFL starter after a strong finish to the 2025 NFL season.
