The Dolphins brought in four wide receivers and four defensive backs for tryouts on Tuesday, with veteran wide receiver Willie Snead and defensive back Greedy Williams the most notable names on the list. Snead has been in the NFL since 2014 and had stints with the Browns, Panthers, Saints, Ravens, Raiders and 49ers. He was a solid contributor early in his career, with a total of 141 catches for 1,879 yards in his first two seasons with the Saints in 2015-2016. But more recently he hasn’t done much; last year he played for the 49ers and caught just two passes. Williams was a second-round pick of the Browns in 2019 who dealt with a series of injuries and never became the player the Browns hoped he would. Last year he was in training camp with the Eagles but was out of the league during the regular season. The Dolphins also tried out defensive backs Javelin Guidry, Faion Hicks and Rachad Wildgoose, and receivers Richie James, Jaylon Moore and Xavier White.
If Greedy could stay healthy, he could be an interesting pickup, but past history suggests otherwise.
The Dolphins liked what they saw in wide receiver Willie Snead’s workout. Snead worked out for the Dolphins along with a handful of other wideouts on Tuesday and the team announced his signing on Wednesday. Defensive tackle Mario Kendricks was waived in a corresponding move. Snead played in four games for the 49ers last season and caught two passes for 14 yards. He also played in four games for the Niners in 2022 and has also played for the Raiders, Panthers, Ravens, and Saints since the start of the 2015 season. The Dolphins have been short a wideout in camp with Odell Beckham Jr. on the physically unable to perform list, so Snead gives them an experienced hand to help fill out the group.
