"Looks like my client Raheem Mostert will be
playing elsewhere next season,” Mostert's agent, Brett Tessler
posted on social media. “Very thankful for his time with the
Miami Dolphins, and this gives them a chance to get younger and
gives him a chance to pursue a ring elsewhere.”
Mostert finished the 2024 season with his fewest games played
(13), rushing yards (278) and attempts (85) since he joined the
team ahead of the 2022 season.
Fuller, who signed with the Dolphins last offseason, had 50
tackles (37 solo), seven passes defensed and one fumble
recovery, but two concussions limited him to 11 games.
Smythe was a fourth-round draft pick by Miami in 2018 and played
in 112 games with 74 starts over the past seven seasons. He had
132 receptions for 1,228 yards and three receiving touchdowns
for the Dolphins.
Mostert had one year left on his contract after signing an
extention last March, coming off a highly productive season in
2023 in which he ran for a career-high 1,012 yards and 18
touchdowns.
Mostert played for four teams over his first two seasons before
landing with San Francisco in 2016. After six seasons with the
49ers, including a trip to the Super Bowl after the 2019 season,
Mostert followed coach Mike McDaniel to Miami on a one-year
deal, where he had the two most productive years of his career.
Mostert led Miami in rushing in 2022 with 891 yards. In 2023,
Mostert became the Dolphins’ first 1,000-yard rusher since Jay
Ajayi had 1,272 in 2016. He was also the first player to rush
for 1,000 yards in his 30s since Adrian Peterson ran for 1,042
with Washington in 2018 at 33.
Mostert’s NFL career started with the Dolphins in 2015. He had
two kickoff returns in a game against Jacksonville that season,
didn’t play again, got waived and wound up with Baltimore and
Cleveland later that year.
De'Von Achane emerged as Miami's clear RB1 in 2024, with a
team-high 907 yards rushing on 203 carries and six touchdowns.
