Miami Dolphins Release Running Back Raheem Mostert, Two Other Veterans

Raheem Mostert Released by Miami Dolphins

Raheem Mostert, a veteran running back, was released by the Miami Dolphins on Friday. The team announced the release, along with cornerback Kendall Fuller and tight end Durham Smythe.

Agent’s Reaction

"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."

Underwhelming 2024 Season

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 and Smythe Also Release

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.

Mostert’s Career

Mostert had one year left on his contract after signing an extension last March, coming off a highly productive season in 2023 in which he ran for a career-high 1,012 yards and 18 touchdowns. He played for four teams over his first two seasons before landing with the San Francisco 49ers 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.

Conclusion

The release of Mostert, Fuller, and Smythe marks a significant change for the Miami Dolphins, with De’Von Achane emerging as the team’s clear RB1 in 2024, with a team-high 907 yards rushing on 203 carries and six touchdowns.
