The Dolphins, apparently open to changes at tight end, will host veteran Dwayne Allen on Friday, a source confirmed.
Miami will be the fourth team Allen is visiting this week, after visits to Baltimore, Buffalo and Detroit.
Allen was released by the Patriots on Monday in a move that will save the Patriots $7.3 million.
Allen, 29, had just three catches for 27 yards in 13 games for New England last season, including eight starts, but is a skilled blocker. He played 365 snaps on offense (32.6 percent) for the Pats this past season, per Pro Football Focus, but was used as a blocker on the vast majority of those plays.
