Dolphins to sign veteran WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Westbrook-Ikhine’s 497 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 2024 were both career-highs, earning him a two-year, $6.5M deal with $3.2M guaranteed in Miami. His $3.25M APY is a significant raise on the $2M he earned last season and a solid payday for the former undrafted free agent.

He first signed with the Titans in 2020 and split his time evenly between offense and special teams. He carved out a larger role in the passing game in 2021 and finished his time in Tennessee with 78 appearances and 39 starts.

The 6-foot-2, 211-pound wideout will bring some size and depth to a Dolphins receiver room that currently lacks both. Westbrook-Ikhine has recorded at least 25 catches, 370 yards, and three touchdowns in each of the last four seasons, giving Miami a consistent WR3 behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. He lined up on the outside and in the slot in Tennessee; that versatility will fit well in the Dolphins’ motion-heavy offense.

Westbrook-Ikhine’s signing is currently expected to qualify for a compensatory pick, per OverTheCap, though the Titans’ other signings will cancel it out.
