Miami isn’t done tinkering with the roster—not even close. The front office is still actively exploring moves, tweaking depth, and looking for ways to squeeze more production out of key spots. This isn’t a “set roster, let’s roll” situation—it’s ongoing construction.
Why do we care?
Because this tells you Miami isn’t satisfied with where things stand. Whether it’s chasing contention, fixing weak links, or just staying competitive in a tight field, this kind of constant movement signals urgency—and maybe a little pressure to get results sooner rather than later.
What’s next?
Expect more transactions, more rumors, and possibly a surprise addition or two. Miami’s clearly keeping options open, so watch for last-minute deals, waiver pickups, or even a bigger swing if the right opportunity shows up.
Bottom line
This team is still a work in progress. If you thought the roster was locked in, think again—Miami is keeping the door open for change, and that usually means more headlines are coming.

After a historic 13-pick draft class, Miami’s roster-building doesn’t stop there.
The Miami Dolphins moved swiftly following the conclusion of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, signing 11 undrafted free agents to fill out their 90-man roster. GM Jon-Eric Sullivan had previously stated the team would target 8 to 10 UDFA additions — they exceeded that, landing talent at running back, edge, safety, quarterback, receiver, and along both lines. Here’s the complete, verified breakdown of every addition.
Complete 2026 Dolphins UDFA Class
| Player | Pos | School | Reported By |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anthony Hankerson | RB | Oregon State | NFL Network |
| Mason Reiger | LB | Wisconsin | Jordan Schultz |
| Rene Konga | DT/DL | Louisville | Arye Pulli / Justin M |
| Le’Veon Moss | RB | Texas A&M | Jeremy Fowler / ESPN |
| Mark Gronowski | QB | Iowa | NFL Network |
| Donaven McCulley | WR | Michigan | Luca Evans / MLive |
| Romello Brinson | WR | SMU | Barry Jackson |

| Rodney McGraw | Edge | Western Michigan | School / Barry Jackson |
| Jim Bonifas | C | Iowa State | Barry Jackson |
| Kevin Cline | OT | Boston College | Kevin Cline (self-announced) |
All 11 signings confirmed across Dolphins Talk, Palm Beach Post, Sports Illustrated, and AOL/Palm Beach Post Tracker.
Backfield Depth: Two Running Backs
Miami addressed running back — a position they did not draft — with two UDFA additions.
Anthony Hankerson | RB | Oregon State
The first and most widely reported Dolphins UDFA signing of the weekend, Anthony Hankerson out of Oregon State was confirmed by NFL Network’s Michael Hultman within minutes of the draft’s conclusion. The Beavers standout brings speed and explosiveness to a Dolphins backfield still being shaped under HC Jeff Hafley’s new offensive system.
Le’Veon Moss | RB | Texas A&M
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN confirmed that Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss is signing with Miami. Moss gives the Dolphins a second competitive back in the room, with his Texas A&M pedigree adding a proven SEC-level talent to the mix.
Defensive Additions: Pass Rush, Interior Line & Safety
Miami targeted the defensive side heavily in the UDFA period, adding three players who address specific depth needs.
Rene Konga | DT/DL | Louisville
Confirmed by reporter Arye Pulli and independently by Justin M of NFL Draft sources, Louisville’s Rene Konga signed with Miami on a reported $287,500 guaranteed deal — one of the higher UDFA guarantees in this class. The Canadian-born defensive lineman adds interior pass-rush depth alongside Miami’s drafted defensive front.
Rodney McGraw | Edge | Western Michigan
Confirmed by Miami Herald reporter Barry Jackson, Rodney McGraw is a developmental edge rusher from Western Michigan. Jackson noted that McGraw — alongside drafted edges Trey Moore (Round 4) and Max Llewellyn (Round 7) — will be part of Miami’s long-term edge development pipeline as the team continues to pursue veteran edge help on the open market.
Louis Moore | S | Indiana
One of the highest-profile UDFA confirmations of the weekend, Adam Schefter of ESPN personally reported that Indiana All-American safety Louis Moore is signing with the Dolphins. Moore’s All-American pedigree at Indiana makes him one of the most decorated players in Miami’s entire UDFA class.
Quarterback Room: A Record-Setter Joins Miami
Mark Gronowski | QB | Iowa
Confirmed by NFL Network and reported by NFL Trade Rumors, Mark Gronowski — an Iowa quarterback — joins Miami’s QB room behind starter Malik Willis. Gronowski brings a winning pedigree from his college career and will compete for a developmental roster spot through training camp.
Wide Receiver Corps: Two New Faces
Miami already drafted three receivers (Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, Kevin Coleman Jr.) and now adds two more through the UDFA process.
Donaven McCulley | WR | Michigan
Confirmed by Luca Evans and MLive, the 6’4″ Michigan receiver Donaven McCulley gives Miami a big-bodied target with transfer experience. Evans noted that the Denver Broncos had also done significant pre-draft work on McCulley, underscoring his market value as an undrafted prospect.
Romello Brinson | WR | SMU (formerly Miami Hurricanes)
Confirmed by Barry Jackson — who broke the news alongside Rodney McGraw as additions #9 and #10 — Romello Brinson is a former University of Miami player who transferred to SMU. Brinson brings a local connection and familiarity with South Florida football culture, having previously helped lead Miami Northwestern High School to multiple state championships before his college career.
Offensive Line: Two Trench Additions
Jim Bonifas | C | Iowa State
Confirmed by Barry Jackson, Iowa State center Jim Bonifas became the seventh known Dolphins UDFA addition. Jackson reported that Bonifas started 12 games at center for the Cyclones in 2025 and earned All-Big 12 honorable mention honors. He led Iowa State with 845 offensive snaps and was rated the 31st-best FBS center by Pro Football Focus — a strong value addition for a Miami interior line that invested a sixth-round pick in guard DJ Campbell.
Kevin Cline | OT | Boston College
The final confirmed addition, Kevin Cline announced his own signing via social media. The 6’7″ Boston College offensive tackle started 11 games at right tackle last season and is a South Florida native — a product of Boca Raton Christian High School. Barry Jackson noted that Cline’s signing pushed Miami to 11 known UDFA additions and 97 players total on their roster.
Linebacker Depth: Shrine Bowl Standout
Mason Reiger | LB | Wisconsin
Confirmed by Jordan Schultz, Wisconsin linebacker Mason Reiger is one of the most decorated players in Miami’s UDFA class. Schultz specifically noted that Reiger was named the Shrine Bowl Defensive MVP — an honor that typically signals strong NFL evaluator interest. At 6’5″, 251 pounds, Reiger adds size and pass-rush ability to a linebacker room that already added Jacob Rodriguez (Round 2) and Kyle Louis (Round 4) in the draft.
The Big Picture
With 13 drafted players and 11 UDFA additions, the Dolphins now have 24 new faces entering their 90-man roster ahead of rookie minicamp.
Sullivan’s strategy is clear — draft for starters, sign UDFAs for depth and development — particularly at positions like running back, edge, and safety where the draft class was thin. The blend of local ties (Brinson, Cline), All-American pedigree (Moore), and proven production (Bonifas, Reiger) gives Miami one of the more thoughtfully constructed UDFA classes in the AFC East.
Training camp will tell the full story — but the foundation is being built brick by brick in Davie.
