What will the two Washington’s bring to Dolphins receiver room – The Splash Zone 5/3/24

During the offseason, we heard that the Miami Dolphins wanted to upgrade their wide receiver unit, mainly a third receiving threat. The Dolphins already boast one of the best duos in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but no one really stepped up last year when either of those guys weren’t in the game. This past weekend, the Dolphins added Malik Washington in the sixth round and Tahj Washington in the seventh round. Being late round selections, both face an uphill battle to make the roster. Malik was expected to go earlier in the draft but could have fallen down boards due to his size and will probably only operate out of the slot. Tahj is another slot option but provides special teams value. It wouldn’t be shocking to see the Dolphins add a veteran to take that third spot though.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
