The Miami Dolphins had a number of their own wide receivers hitting the market this offseason, so they had to make an effort to re-sign some of them, and they did just that.
Miami gave wideout Braxton Berrios, 28, a one-year deal worth $2.15 million to remain with the team for a second season.
According to Over the Cap, Berrios will receive a $1.4 million base salary ($750,000 guaranteed), a $450,000 signing bonus and $300,000 in per-game roster bonuses. His cap hit for the 2024 season is set to be $2.13 million.
While this deal isn’t for a ton of money, it will likely keep him tied to the team through the year. Releasing Berrios would result in a $1.2 million dead-cap hit while saving roughly $932,000.
Berrios is currently the third wide receiver on the Dolphins’ depth chart behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and he will also likely serve as the team’s punt returner again. That second role is his most important, but Miami is hoping that Berrios improves from last season and returns to his All-Pro form this year.
