The Facts: The Dolphins announced that they have tendered Ford, linebacker Trent Harris and defensive tackle Zach Sieler as exclusive rights free agents. The three players can’t sign with other teams after being tendered, so they will likely be signing those tenders in order to continue their playing careers.
Diehards Line:Ford had 23 catches for 244 yards and one carry for 11 yards in eight games with the team last season. He joined the team as a seventh-round pick in 2017, but is an exclusive rights free agent because he was waived on cutdown day in 2018 before returning to the practice squad.
