The Miami Dolphins have addressed their need for size at the wide receiver position by signing Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from the Tennessee Titans. The contract is a two-year deal worth $6.5 million, with $3.2 million guaranteed. Westbrook-Ikhine, a 6-foot-2 sixth-year player, had a productive season last year, achieving 32 receptions for 497 yards and a notable 98-yard touchdown. His addition adds a different dimension to the Dolphins’ receiving corps, which primarily features smaller, speed-oriented players.
Westbrook-Ikhine’s experience should complement the speedy talents of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who are both under 6 feet tall. The Dolphins have struggled with size at the receiver spot, making this signing particularly strategic. With injuries affecting previous options, including Erik Ezukanma and Grant DuBose, Westbrook-Ikhine’s durability and size will be critical for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s arsenal. This signing comes as the Dolphins look to improve their offense under a new receivers coach, Robert Prince.
