Dolphins re-sign Tyler Kroft, as expected.

Kroft figures to be the Dolphins’ best red zone threat at tight end in part because of his size (6-6). That threat is needed in the wake of Mike Gesicki’s departure to New England this season.

Dolphins tight ends coach John Embree and the staff have “shown tape and concepts of how they would try to get Mike open in the passing game in the past,” Kroft said. “More of these are the concepts we’ve attacked teams with. This is how our offense is going to evolve.”

And if some of the Gesicki plays are run for Kroft, “that would be awesome,” Kroft said. “Whatever role they give me, I will be happy.”

When the Dolphins use two tight end sets, they’ll have two proven, reliable players in Smythe and Kroft.

“Durham does a great job as a three down guy as well,” Kroft said. “When he and I are in there, I feel you genuinely don’t know if it’s a run or a pass. If one of us is going to be in protection, it definitely gives defenses more to worry about.

“Say if Mike [Gesicki] was in the game last year, you would cater toward the passing play. Both of us do a good job being a three down guy.”

well now, isn't this interesting.

i wonder if that was a slip and Mostert just gave away something.  we all know McDaniel would like to throw the ball to RBs out of the backfield more and we all assumed that Achane was the guy for that, but maybe its Brooks who will catching passes out the backfield instead.  i don't recall him getting a big number of passes in the preseason.

Gaskin is signing with the Vikings to compete for the RB2 spot.

The Minnesota Vikings announced on Tuesday afternoon that they have released running back Myles Gaskin.
