QB Josh Rosen

The trials and tribulations of Rosen continue. He has been bumped from roster twice after his respective teams took a quarterback with their first picks. Miami seems to have confidence in Tua Tagovailoa’s health, which leaves Rosen without a spot. Miami traded two picks, including a second-round pick, prior to the 2019 draft to acquire the UCLA product.

RB Kalen Ballage

Ballage was a fourth round pick in the 2018 draft for Miami, following a successful tenure at Arizona State. He had an opportunity to grab starting duties last year with the trade of Kenyan Drake. However, he only averaged 1.8 yards per carry on 74 rushes. Not being able to outrush Ryan Fitzpatrick ultimately led to his demise. Previously he was traded to the Jets but failed his physical.

WR Donte Moncrief

Moncrief signed with the Jets after struggling with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019. He caught only 4-of-15 targets for 18 yards last year. The Jets brought Moncrief in due to a slew of injuries in New York’s receiving room. Even so, Moncrief could not push his way onto the roster despite the Jets injury concerns.

C Jonotthan Harrison

Harrison was previously the Jets’ starting center. Reportedly they tried to trade him before roster cuts but failed to do so.
