What happened: Miami added tackle Gottlieb Ayedze, safety Major Burns, tight end Jeremiah Franklin, quarterback Mark Gronowski and running back Jarquez Hunter. Edge Rodney McGraw, receiver Jalen Reagor, linebacker Cam Riley and running back Carlos Washington Jr. also joined the unit.
Why it matters: The moves provide developmental depth across every phase of the roster ahead of the 2026 season. Miami added two running backs and a quarterback among the nine signings.
By the numbers: Nine players signed: one tackle, one safety, one tight end, one quarterback, two running backs, one edge rusher, one wide receiver and one inside linebacker.
What to watch: Practice-squad elevations and additional roster moves will shape Miami's available depth entering Week 1.
