Former New York Giants tight end Greg Dulcich has signed with the Miami Dolphins, per reports.
Dulcich is coming off of a strong preseason performance with the Giants in which he caught 7 passes for 53 yards and 3 touchdowns. While his total yardage wasn’t impressive, Dulcich showed a good rapport with the Giants’ quarterbacks and was targeted in high-leverage situations.
Despite that his performance, the Giants released Dulcich in final cutdowns. The Giants have a (potentially) very strong tight end unit with Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, and Thomas Fidone II, and the team opted for more blocking upside at the expense of Dulcich’s receiving.
It was hoped that they’d be able to sign him to their practice squad, likely capitalizing on his relationship with Jaxson Dart in particular.
Instead, Dulcich seems to have opted for what could be a significantly easier path to the field in Miami. The Dolphins have Tanner Conner, Julian Hill, and (former Giant) Darren Waller at tight end. While Waller is a former Pro Bowl player, neither Conner nor Hill have produced much in their respective careers and have a combined 21 receptions on 35 career targets.
We could see the former third-round pick on the field sooner rather than later.
