Dolphins WR pens heartfelt goodbye to team after 2 seasons
Dolphins WR pens heartfelt goodbye to team after 2 seasons
After two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, wide receiver Braxton Berrios is set to join the Houston Texans when free agency begins Wednesday.
Shortly after agreeing to the deal, Berrios wrote a heartfelt thank you to the Dolphins and their fans for his time in South Florida.
"Miami is home and will always have a special place in my heart," the caption reads, in part.
Berrios, 29, was born and raised in Raleigh, N.C. before playing four seasons with the Miami Hurricanes. After beginning his career with the New England Patriots, Berrios bounced to two other AFC East squads, first spending four years with the New York Jets before joining the Dolphins in 2023.
Miami brought back Berrios on a second one-year contract in 2024, but he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in October.
In two seasons with the Dolphins, Berrios recorded 27 receptions for 238 yards and a touchdown, as well as 338 punt return yards and 517 kick return yards.

Former Browns All-Pro RB Nick Chubb signs 1-year deal with Texans
Nick Chubb is now a member of the Houston Texans. The former Cleveland Browns running back passed a physical on Monday and officially struck a deal to join the Texans, the team announced. According to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it's a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. Advertisement The Texans now provide a fresh start for Chubb after knee and foot injuries limited him to 10 games over the course of the prior two seasons. Chubb suffered a devastating knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season that required multiple surgeries to repair a torn ACL, MCL, meniscus and medial capsule. The injury cost Chubb all but two games of the 2023 season and the first six games of the 2024 campaign. Will Nick Chubb return to form with the Texans? () (Perry Knotts via Getty Images) Chubb returned to play eight games in 2024 before a broken foot suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs ended his season in Week 14. He hasn't played since. Can Chubb return to form? Chubb, 29, was in the prime of his career when he suffered his knee injury in 2023. He'd made the Pro Bowl after each of the previous four seasons and was named second-team All-Pro in 2022 as one of the NFL's most productive offensive players. Advertisement He was limited in his eight-game return in 2024, averaging 3.3 yards per carry for 332 rushing yards and three touchdowns. The production fell well short of his career averages of 5.1 yards per carry and 92.8 total yards from scrimmage per game. Chubb will join a Texans offense helmed by third-year quarterback C.J. Stroud that Houston hopes can help improve on last season's 10-7 campaign that ended in a divisional-round playoff loss to the Chiefs. Chubb will join a Texans backfield that already features Joe Mixon, who joined Houston on a three-year, $25 million contract from the Cincinnati Bengals last offseason. Mixon made his second career Pro Bowl in 2024 after tallying 1,325 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns while averaging 4.1 yards per carry.

RB Nick Chubb signs with Texans on 1-year deal: How he expands Houston's backfield
By Dianna Russini, Zac Jackson, Adam Coleman and Zach Powell Former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb, who was a free agent, signed with the Houston Texans on Tuesday, the team announced. The contract, which was contingent on Chubb passing a physical on Monday, is a one-year deal worth at least $2.5 million and up to $5 million, according to league sources. Chubb received more lucrative offers from other teams, but he would sign a more incentive-laden contract to join Joe Mixon in Houston's backfield. Chubb, 29, was sidelined for much of the last two seasons due to knee and foot injuries. Welcome to H-Town, Nick Chubb‼️ — Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) June 9, 2025 Houston will be just the second team Chubb has played for in his seven seasons. A second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Georgia, Chubb has impacted the Browns' ground game since his rookie season. The four-time Pro Bowler rushed for 996 yards in his first season, followed by four straight seasons of 1,000-plus yards. Advertisement Chubb's 2023 season was cut short by a serious knee injury in Week 2. He returned in Week 7 of the 2024 season, but would wind up missing the final three games that season with a broken foot. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry and 84.5 yards per game in his first five seasons, and 3.9 yards per carry and 50.2 yards per game in the past two seasons. The injuries are a concern, of course, but Chubb on an incentive-laden one-year deal in a reserve role seems like a good bet for the Texans to make. A healthy backfield of Mixon and Chubb only helps quarterback CJ Stroud and new offensive coordinator Nick Caley. This is suddenly an interesting running back room, too. The Texans just used a fourth-round pick on USC running back Woody Marks to spell the hard-nosed Mixon, who dealt with injuries of his own last season. Then, there is Dameon Pierce, who could be on the bubble. He had an outstanding rookie season in 2022 but has since lost his way. How it all shakes out in camp and during the preseason will be interesting. — Adam Coleman, NFL staff editor The 2024 version of Chubb was not the same version we'd seen before. And though his departure from Cleveland becoming close to official stings the team's fans, the Browns had moved on, and had to. Chubb's gruesome injury in September 2023 in Pittsburgh marked the unofficial end to an incredible marriage of team and low-maintenance superstar that began early in Chubb's rookie season of 2018. Chubb almost always got the tough yards, almost always made the proper play and always wanted the ball without having to say it or post about it. It's hard to tell what the Texans are getting in Chubb now, six months from his 30th birthday, but it seems a smart bet for a Houston team that plans to return to the playoffs. Advertisement Chubb seemed to gain confidence and quickness last season before that broken foot derailed his comeback. If he can still serve as a between-the-tackles runner who brings physicality even without that extra gear, he can still be a useful and productive player. The Browns drafted two running backs and are smartly moving towards their future, but Chubb's presence and playmaking will never be forgotten. — Zac Jackson, Browns beat writer
