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
Number: 85
Position: Tight end
Height / Weight: 6’4” / 245
Age (at start of season): 26
Experience: 5th season (Denver Broncos 2022-2024, Chicago Bears 2024, Miami Dolphins 2025)
College: UCLA
Draft: 2022 3rd round (Broncos)
Acquired: 2025 Free Agent signing; Re-signed 2026

Contract and 2026 salary cap

Contract: 1 year, $3.25 million

2026 salary cap: $1.7 million

Games played: 10 (3 starts)
Receptions: 26
Receiving yards: 335
Touchdowns: 1

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.

Bam Adebayo knows what it’s like to grow up with very little. He’s determined to help kids who are facing similar predicaments.

And the NBA has noticed his work.

The Miami Heat star — who had an 83-point game this season, the second highest-scoring game in NBA history — was honored Friday night with the league’s Social Justice Champion award. Adebayo will receive the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trophy, and the NBA will make a $100,000 charitable donation on his behalf.

“It’s not something I look to do or want to do for attention,” Adebayo said Friday night in a video conference. “It’s something I do because I really want to help people. I’ve always said this: I never had anybody in my community that would come in and make impact. And my mom’s always been one of those people who’s always giving back, so I’m just carrying that torch.”

The award, the NBA said, “honors a current NBA player for pursuing social justice and … for advancing Abdul-Jabbar’s life mission to engage, empower and drive equality for individuals and groups who have been historically disadvantaged.”

Bam Adebayo’s foundation has raised thousands for underserved communities 

The Bam Adebayo Foundation invested more than $563,000 across 18 initiatives this season, all promoting either educational equity, food security or youth development in underserved communities across South Florida and his native North Carolina.

Among the highlights of his work:

— He provided mattresses, uniforms and school supplies for students at The SEED School of Miami.

— Funded transportation for more than 19,000 students to attend the Miami Book Fair.

— Addressed food insecurity through holiday meal distributions.

— Hosted a holiday toy drive serving more than 2,000 children, and the leftover toys — which covered the playing court at the Heat’s home Kaseya Center — were then shared with other organizations.

— Supported youth development programs.

— Renovated a basketball court at Camillus House Homeless Shelter.

The other finalists for the award this season were San Antonio’s Harrison Barnes, Boston’s Jaylen Brown, Detroit’s Tobias Harris and Cleveland’s Larry Nance Jr.

Adebayo is the sixth recipient, joining Jrue Holiday (2025), Karl-Anthony Towns (2024), Stephen Curry (2023), Reggie Bullock (2022) and Carmelo Anthony (2021).

“I’m the first one in Heat history to get it,” said Adebayo, Miami’s captain. “It feels good to be the first at something in franchise history — but it just shows the work that I put into the community.”

The award was decided by a committee that includes Abdul-Jabbar, Tatum, Realize The Dream co-founders Martin Luther King III and Arndrea Waters King, GirlTREK Co-Founder and President Vanessa Garrison, National Museum of African American History & Culture Acting Director Shanita Brackett, Civic Nation CEO Kyle Lierman, NBA President of Social Responsibility & Player Programs Kathy Behrens, National Basketball Players Association Foundation Executive Director Erika Swilley and youth representative Cayden Daughtry from the Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA Court of Leaders.
