The Facts: The Dolphins are re-signing Mostert to a two-year, $5.6 million deal with $2.2M guaranteed, according to multiple reports.

Diehards Line: Mostert, 31, followed head coach Mike McDaniel to Miami last year after spending over five years as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. The two had a particularly close connection due to McDaniel’s role as run-game coordinator before his elevation to offensive coordinator in 2021. In 2022, Mostert played in 16 games for just the second time in his career, putting up a career-high 891 rushing yards on 4.9 yards per carry, while finding the end zone three times. He also was effective in the receiving game, catching 31 passes for 202 yards and another two touchdowns. As USA Today recently noted, while he’s past the dreaded 30th birthday for a running back, Mostert doesn’t exactly have the miles on his legs that other backs do. He’s rushed only 465 times since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Purdue in 2015. That’s just 116 carries more than Derrick Henry, who led the league in attempts, had just this season. Remember, Jeff Wilson Jr. remains a free agent leaving Mostert and Salvon Ahmed the only backs currently on the roster.
