Dolphins add 4 intriguing options at WR in undrafted free agency
Dolphins add 4 intriguing options at WR in undrafted free agency
The Miami Dolphins wasted no time diving into undrafted free agency and made wide receiver a priority.
Just minutes after the end of the 2025 NFL draft, the Dolphins came to terms with four wide-outs after passing on the position during the seven rounds of the draft.
Andrew Armstrong, WR, Arkansas
At 6'4, Armstrong is a tall "X" option with an expansive catch radius to go up and get footballs over defensive backs. He tracks the ball well and can move the chains while making catches through contact.
While he's not the fastest player, Armstrong has a pro-ready frame and was projected by some to be a sixth-round pick. He's a willing blocker, which is area that's important to head coach Mike McDaniel. Armstrong finished 2024 with 78 receptions, 1,140 yards, and a touchdown while averaging 14.6 yards per catch.
Monaray Baldwin, WR, Baylor
Baldwin is a 5'9 slot receiver with 4.32 speed, who averaged 16.9 yards per reception over his four-year career at Baylor. He upped that to a 17.7-yard average in 2024, showing off his big-play ability and track-star speed.
Bruce Feldman of The Athletic wrote on his Freaks List that Baldwin was clocked at 23.16 miles per hour -- a number no NFL ball carrier reached in the 2024 season. Baldwin also has punt return experience.
Theo Wease, WR, Missouri
After four years at Oklahoma and two with Missouri, Wease is a seasoned prospect and it shows in his ability to track the ball. He has great hands, the ability to create separation, and can find soft spots in zone coverage.
At 6'3, Wease uses his size very well and can make catches in traffic. While speed is lacking and Wease doesn't have much breakaway ability, he can pick up yards after the catch. He's a solid and tenacious blocker as well.
A.J. Henning, WR, Northwestern
Henning is a 5'10 slot receiver with punt returner ability, who played three seasons at Michigan and finished his college career with two years at Northwestern. In the last four seasons, he averaged 8.6 yards per punt return and averaged 11.3 yards in 2024.
As a pass catcher, Henning scored four touchdowns in each of his two seasons with Northwestern. He also was a factor in the rushing attack with 47 collegiate carries.

Packers to reportedly release 2-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander
The Green Bay Packers are cutting ties with cornerback Jaire Alexander. The two-time Pro Bowler will reportedly be released Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It marks quite the fall for Alexander, a former first-round draft pick who was one of the team's best players as recently as the 2022 season, when he was selected to his second Pro Bowl. But injuries have plagued Alexander over the past two years. Back and shoulder issues limited Alexander to seven games in 2023. A knee issue caused Alexander to play in just seven games in 2024. Advertisement Prior to those injuries, Alexander had emerged as one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL. After a promising rookie season in 2018, Alexander started in all 16 games in his second season. He earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2020 and was second team All-Pro. He was limited to just four games in 2021 due to a shoulder injury, but bounced back in 2022 to play in all 16 games, once again earning Pro Bowl and second team All-Pro team honors. After signing a four-year, $84 million extension in 2022, Alexander was set to make over $16 million in 2025. The Packers reportedly offered Alexander a restructured deal in May, which would have resulted in Alexander taking a pay cut. It appears Alexander did not want to take that deal, leading to his reported release. The last two seasons in which Alexander played double-digit games, he made the Pro Bowl. That should give the 28-year-old multiple options now that he's reportedly hit the free-agent market. Given his injury struggles, Alexander may need to settle for a short-term deal. If he can stay healthy and return to form, Alexander could fetch a much larger contract on the market next season.

Packers officially release CB Jaire Alexander
Packers officially release CB Jaire Alexander The Green Bay Packers officially announced the release of cornerback Jaire Alexander on Monday. The roster move was initially reported on Monday morning and is now official with the league office as of Monday afternoon. Alexander's release ends a seven-year run for Brian Gutekunst's first draft pick as general manager of the Packers. "In his seven seasons with the Packers, Jaire established himself as one of the premier players in the NFL at one of the game's most challenging positions," Gutekunst wrote in a press release. "His contributions to our organization were felt on the field, in the locker room and in our community, and he will be missed. We appreciate all he gave and we wish him all the best moving forward." Alexander, a first-round pick of the Packers (18th overall) in the 2018 draft, played in 78 games (76 starts) over the last seven seasons in Green Bay. He intercepted 12 passes, returning one for a touchdown, and produced 70 total passes defensed. Alexander was a Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro in both 2020 and 2022, and he was named to the PFWA's All-Rookie Team in 2018. Alexander also appeared in seven postseason games. He intercepted three passes in the playoffs -- two on Tom Brady in the 2020 NFC Championship Game and one on Dak Prescott in the Packers' upset win over the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Round in 2023. Alexander signed a four-year, $84 million contract with the Packers in 2022. However, he played in only four games in 2021, seven games in 2023 and seven games in 2024 due to injuries or suspension. The Packers now have an open roster spot as mandatory minicamp -- the final event of the offseason workout program -- begins on Tuesday.
