Dolphins release veteran RB Raheem Mostert, reshaping roster

The Miami Dolphins have officially released veteran running back Raheem Mostert, who will seek opportunities with other teams next season. Mostert's agent confirmed the decision, emphasizing that it allows the Dolphins to get younger at the position while giving Mostert a chance to pursue a Super Bowl ring. Last season, Mostert struggled with injuries and saw his role diminish, rushing for only 278 yards and two touchdowns while backing up De'Von Achane, who is now poised to take over as the lead back. Mostert had a standout 2023 season, leading the league with 18 rushing touchdowns and recording a total of 21 touchdowns. His release saves the Dolphins approximately $3 million against the salary cap, reflecting their shift towards a younger roster. As Mostert enters free agency, he remains a potential asset for teams in need of experienced backfield help.
