Newsstand: Miami Dolphins sign former Notre Dame TE Durham Smythe to extension
Former Notre Dame tight end Durham Smythe has spent the first five years of his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, and according to a report, he’ll be playing in the Sunshine State for another couple seasons. The Dolphins confirmed the report.
“The Dolphins are signing TE Durham Smythe to a 2 year extension for $7.750M, with $5.5M fully guaranteed, per source,” Tom Pelissero of the NFL network tweeted. “The deal includes a raise to $4.5M for 2023. Max value of $8.75M.”
Smythe may be more of a key contributor as a pass catcher this season, as the Dolphins lost tight end Mike Gesicki to the rival New England Patriots.

Quote of the day
“Basically for me, it’s taking my ego out and seeing what things blend previously with Coach Mason. Keeping a lot of the same terminology. There’s no point in having 100 guys learn something different just because this is how I said it. That will speed up the process to where we can really get into the level 200, 300 of scheming.”
