Dolphins bolster offensive line by re-signing veteran Kendall Lamm
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. —
The Miami Dolphins bolstered their offensive line by re-signing veteran Kendall Lamm on Wednesday.
Lamm, 31, started eight games for Miami last season — seven at left tackle and one at right tackle. He started the first two games of the season as Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead battled injuries.
The Dolphins signed Lamm to their practice squad in November 2022 amid injuries to their offensive line, then signed him to a one-year deal last offseason. He entered the NFL in 2015 as an undrafted free agent before signing with Houston.
Lamm indicated in a social media post that this season — which will be the 10th of his career — will be his final one in the NFL.
“I’m very, very appreciative of this,” Lamm said. “This will be the last ride for me, so to play in Miami … it’s amazing to me to close this football chapter the right way.”

Dolphins-Raiders Trade Proposal Sends Haul of Picks for QB Talent
The Miami Dolphins have come up as a suggested landing spot for Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in recent weeks, but a new Bleacher Report mock draft has the Fins trading their right to select Penix to the Las Vegas Raiders.
On April 1, the Bleacher Report scouting department — made up of Alex Ballentine, Brandon Thorn, Brent Sobleski, Cory Giddings, Derrik Klassen, Kris Knox and Matt Holder — predicted that Miami would send their 2024 first rounder to the Raiders for a package of picks. In turn, Las Vegas would then draft Penix after already grabbing Penn State offensive tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu at No. 13 overall. Below is the full projected trade proposal from B/R.
- Dolphins get: 2024 second-round pick (44th overall), 2024 third-round pick (77th overall) and 2025 third-round pick.
- Raiders get: 2024 first-round pick (21st overall), 2024 sixth-round pick (198th overall) and 2025 fifth-round pick.
This deal would give the Dolphins three opportunities to plug roster holes from picks 44 through 77 (including their own second rounder at No. 55), while also adding a future third rounder next April. Sure, the sacrifice — a top 21 selection — is great, but this is a likely net win in terms of overall value if you look at the 2024 NFL trade value chart (estimating 2025 pick values).
It’s important to also consider Miami’s top needs: Guard, defensive tackle, WR3, depth at linebacker/edge.
