The Miami Dolphins have signed a pair of free agent wide receivers this offseason, Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert, to help fill the void left by the release of Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
On Tuesday, KPRC2's Aaron Wilson reported the details of Atwells' contract, and it appears the Super Bowl champion wideout is taking quite a big pay cut from his last deal with the Los Angeles Rams.
Last year, Los Angeles signed Atwell to a one-year deal with $10 million fully guaranteed, and this year, he signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins for $1.4 million. The contract includes a $187,500 signing bonus and a $1.22 million salary.
The reason for the steep drop in 2026 shouldn't be a surprise, considering Atwell appeared in just 10 games for the Rams last year due to injury and caught six passes for 192 yards and an 88-yard touchdown, which was the longest reception in the league in 2025.
With $1.26 million fully guaranteed in Atwell's new contract, he'll probably be around for Week 1 and beyond, and he might have to play a much bigger role after the Dolphins traded Jaylen Waddle on Tuesday.
