Dolphins Release Mostert, Fuller, and Smythe

The Miami Dolphins have announced the release of running back Raheem Mostert, cornerback Kendall Fuller, and tight end Durham Smythe as part of a roster overhaul to create salary cap flexibility ahead of the 2025 season. Mostert, who had a standout 2023 season with 1,012 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns, saw a decline in performance in 2024, rushing for only 278 yards. His release will save the Dolphins $2.9 million in cap space. Fuller, who joined Miami in 2024, and Smythe, a long-time Dolphin, were also released to help address the team's cap situation, which is over by $13 million. The Dolphins are expected to focus on younger talent moving forward, with De'Von Achane positioned to take a leading role in the backfield. Meanwhile, Mostert, who is nearly 33, will seek opportunities with other teams to continue his career and pursue a Super Bowl ring.
