Dolphins Sign Former First-Round Pick Wide Receiver

The Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor, adding the former first-round pick to a receiver room that is almost unrecognizable from what it was twelve months ago.

Reagor, 27, was the 21st overall pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 out of TCU, where he earned second-team All-Big 12 honors as both a receiver and returner and generated first-round buzz with his speed and explosiveness in the open field.

The NFL portion of his career did not follow the trajectory that pick position suggested.

He caught 64 passes for 695 yards and three touchdowns across two Eagles seasons, was traded to the Vikings for a seventh-round pick and a conditional fourth in 2022, spent one year in Minnesota before being waived coming out of the preseason, had stints with the Patriots and Chargers, and spent most of 2024 and 2025 on the Chargers' practice squad before being released in October.

He did not play in a single NFL game in 2025.

The Dolphins are his sixth organization in six years. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are both gone.

New quarterback Malik Willis needs weapons, and the current group of Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington, and rookie draft picks Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. represents one of the thinner receiver rooms in the AFC.

Reagor brings speed, return ability, and big-play upside that his college tape still shows is real even if it has rarely been accessed at the pro level.

At a veteran minimum deal, he costs Miami almost nothing. Whether he recaptures any of the promise that made him a first-round pick is the question that the next three months of training camp will answer.
