Dolphins sign former first-round pick Jalen Reagor for wide receiver depth
In the quest to get quarterback Malik Willis some wide receiver help, the Miami Dolphins just added another to the mix.
The Dolphins signed Jalen Reagor on Tuesday, the Miami Herald confirmed. ESPN’s Adam Schefter had it first.
In a corresponding move, the Dolphins also waived linebacker and safety Jordan Colbert. He appeared in five games in 2025 during which he played on special teams.
A former first-round pick, Reagor has caught 86 balls for 1,037 yards and four touchdowns over his five-year career. His last snaps came with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.
The Philadelphia Eagles selected the former TCU standout with the No. 21 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. That move would eventually haunt the Eagles as the Minnesota Vikings would select four-time Pro Bowl wideout Justin Jefferson one pick later. For further context, Jefferson had more catches, yards and touchdowns in his rookie year than Reagor has had in his entire career.
After two years with the Eagles, during which he registered 64 catches for 695 yards and three touchdowns, he was eventually traded to the Vikings in exchange for a 2023 seventh-round pick and a 2024 conditional fourth-round selection.
The Vikings subsequently waived Reagor after one season. He registered eight catches for 104 yards and one touchdown across his 17 appearances.
In 2023, the Patriots signed Reagor. That season, he turned in seven catches for 138 yards. He was released towards the beginning of the 2024 season.
Reagor’s last NFL snaps came in 2024 as a member of the Chargers. He caught seven balls for 100 yards in eight games. Despite starting the 2025 season on the practice squad, Reagor was later released in mid-October.
With the Dolphins’ wide receiver room being quite unimpressive as of late, Reagor’s signing makes sense as the team looks to build around Willis. The former first-round pick could also help in the return game or even as rusher as he has registered 22 carries for 97 yards on the ground across his career.
