Miami Dolphins sign WR who was a former first-round pick

As the Miami Dolphins are in the thick of OTA’s, they have decided to make another signing at the wide receiver position. They have signed receiver Jalen Reagor, a first-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. Reagor was out of football last season.

The former TCU standout has had a rough go in the NFL after a dominant few years with the Horned Frogs. He initially struggled as a rookie with inconsistencies and injuries. Year 2 was better in most categories, but Reagor struggled with drops and made his best contributions on special teams.

He then went to three teams in three seasons: Vikings, Patriots and Chargers, most recently in 2024.

His most recent campaign was unimpressive, but he did serve as a quality backup receiver for the Chargers, where he recorded 100 yards in eight games.

He played 28% of offensive snaps in those games. Reagor spent the bulk of 2025 without a team, but was signed to the Chargers’ practice squad a couple of times.

Sadly, Reagor is best known as the selection right before Minnesota selected Justin Jefferson, who is having a Hall of Fame-caliber career.

The Dolphins are in flux at receiver. They have lot of new faces, and a lot of them are young. Reagor, who has to be hungry and ready to compete, brings in a veteran presence to go along with Jalen Tolbert and TuTu Atwell. FMiami has a deep running back and quarterback room, so the next logical step would be to add onto the receiver corps.

Reagor offers inside-outside versatility and is an experienced kick returner. He is at a disadvantage joining the team this late in the process, but he has plenty of time to impress the coaches and potentially lock down a roster spot. 2026 is Reagor’s age-27 season. He will have no financial burden on the team and is merely there to provide a potential surprise in a rather youthful and inexperienced bunch.
