The Miami Dolphins have made a significant roster change, waiving wide receiver Tahj Washington and signing Ryan Miller, who was claimed off waivers from the New York Giants. This decision comes after the Dolphins parted ways with their star receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, raising questions about the team's ability to replace their production.
Washington, a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, missed his rookie season due to an injury sustained before training camp. He showed promise during the preseason prior to the 2025 season, accumulating 116 receiving yards on 11 receptions over three games.
His performance earned him a spot on the Dolphins' 53-man roster, a notable decision given the team had only kept four receivers the previous year.
Despite the initial optimism, Washington struggled to make an impact during the regular season, catching just one pass for 12 yards and fumbling on his first career reception. His performance in the 2026 preseason was less impressive, and a muffed punt in the second game further diminished his chances of remaining with the team.
In contrast, Ryan Miller, who stands at 6-foot-2 and weighs 210 pounds, brings a different skill set to the Dolphins. He recorded 12 receptions for 128 yards and two touchdowns during his best season in 2024 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
