Dolphins 90 in 90: Tight end Greg Dulcich looking to build in 2026

Our 90-in-90 series took a two-day break after just two articles had been posted. On Thursday, I had just about finished a look at tight end Jalin Conyers, only to have the Miami Dolphins announce they were waiving the 2025 undrafted free agent signing. It was perfectly timed to throw off my post. Yesterday, I just did not have a chance to post.

Which brings us to today’s look at the Dolphins’ 2026 roster. Each article in the 90-in-90 series is designed to let us get a closer look at one player on the roster, breaking down who he is, what he did last year, and what could be in store for him this year. Our first two publications for 2026 were defensive players, cornerback JuJu Brents and defensive end Mason Reiger. Today, we turn to the offense with tight end Greg Dulcich.

Name: Greg Dulcich

Dulcich started the 2025 season on Miami’s practice squad, making his first appearance in Week 8. Once he did get into the game, he quickly moved from a depth piece into a key part of the offense, catching a season-high five passes in his second game (tied in Week 17). He was not a player who teams had to game plan to cover, but he did finish the year second on the team in average yards per reception for players who had at least seven receptions at 12.9 – trailing only wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. He established himself as a solid tight end who can be counted on to make the contested catch and keep the chains moving.

Tight end signings: Zack Kuntz, Ben Sims, Cole Turner

Released: Jalin Conyers (waived), Zack Kuntz (waived), Chris Myarick

Drafted: Will Kacmarek (3rd round); Seydou Traore (5th round)

Dulcich is projected to be the team’s starting tight end and should serve as a possession-style receiver for new starting quarterback Malik Willis. He does not need to be a down-field, highlight-producing receiver for the team, but be the solid player who gets what he can and keeps drives alive.

General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan mentioned Dulcich during an appearance on ESPN at the NFL Owners Meetings. Asked by Kevin Clark for a player he thinks is poised to take a big step forward in 2026, Sullivan immediately replied, “Dulcich. I thought he had a really good back-end of the season, and I want to see if he can build on that. That’s why we brought him back.”

Dulcich should be the starter come Week 1 and may become one of Willis’s favorite targets.
