Dolphins Sign OL Jamaree Salyer

An agreement has been reached with Jamaree Salyer, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. This will bring about a change of scenery for Salyer, who played out his rookie contract with the Chargers. He amassed 40 starts over that period. The Dolphins have since announced the signing.

As a rookie, Salyer operated as the Bolts’ starting left tackle. He remained a first-team regular the following year but did so at the right guard position. The former sixth-rounder logged over 1,100 snaps during his second season but his PFF evaluation left plenty to be desired. Over the past two seasons, Salyer only totaled nine starts, seeing action at both guard spots but also left tackle in 2025 due to the injuries suffered by Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt.

With Mekhi Becton having been released and Zion Johnson departing on the open market, losing Salyer will leave the Chargers in need of multiple O-line moves. One guard addition has already been lined up, with an agreement being reached with Cole Strange. For Miami, meanwhile, this signing may yield a starting presence at guard. Salyer, 25, could replace Strange (especially since Daniel Brunskill is a pending free agent); alternatively, he could serve as competition for 2025 second-rounder Jonah Savaiinaea.

The Dolphins have lost Strange as well as Larry Borom during the opening stages of free agency. The team still has right tackle Austin Jackson in the fold, though, after he accepted a pay cut ahead of his contract year. Depending on how Miami’s offensive line maneuvering shakes out, Salyer could find himself occupying a starting gig along the interior. At a minimum, he will serve as experienced depth up front.
