The Dolphins made their first significant addition of the offseason on Sunday, signing tight end Dwayne Allen to a two-year, $7 million deal, according to multiple sources.
Allen, who visited the Dolphins on Friday, joins Mike Gesicki, Durham Smythe and Nick O’Leary as tight ends under contract.
Because Allen’s greatest strength is blocking, Allen’s signing would seemingly most impact Smythe and O’Leary, who are considered the best blockers of the three tight ends.
But though the Dolphins are expected to use doses of two tight end sets, it also raises questions about how much the Dolphins are expecting from Gesicki, the team’s second round pick a year ago.
