The Miami Dolphins are signing veteran tight end Tyler Kroft to a one-year contract, according to Kroft’s agent Mike McCartney. The deal brings Miami a fifth tight end, joining Durham Smythe, Tanner Conner, Eric Saubert, and Elijah Higgins. Saubert was added earlier this offseason as a free agent signing while Higgins was a sixth-round pick in last month’s NFL Draft. Higgins was a wide receiver at Stanford, but is expected to be converted to a tight end with Miami.
Kroft was a third-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2015, spending four seasons there.
