Former second-round tight end signs with Dolphins, but is he a legit NFL player? | Miami Herald

Gavin Escobar probably is not the answer to the Dolphins' big problem at tight end. But he will have a chance to prove otherwise.

Escobar signed with the Dolphins Monday, joining his fifth team since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2013. He played four largely forgettable seasons with the Cowboys, never developing into the in-line blocker Dallas needed.

Escobar, who has just eight career touchdown catches, has since been cut by the Chiefs, Ravens and Browns and has had four catches since the start of the 2016 season.

He was available because the Browns cut him last week, a mere three months after they signed him to a futures contract.
