The Miami Dolphins made news on Sunday, as the team made a notable move over the weekend.
According to multiple reports, the Dolphins are signing veteran wide receiver Chosen Anderson to a one-year deal. The news of Anderson’s signing surfaced late Saturday night, as the former undrafted free agent hinted at the big move by showing off a Tua Tagovailoa jersey during an Instagram live.

The 29-year-old Anderson, known for his speed, is joining one of — if not — the fastest wide receiver group in the NFL, including the likes of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios and Cedrick Wilson, Jr., to name a few.
The Dolphins will be the third team that Anderson has been on in the span of a year. The day after being kicked out of a game by then-interim head coach Steve Wilks, the Carolina Panthers traded Anderson to the Cardinals in exchange for two late draft selections. Between his time in Arizona and Carolina last season, Anderson hauled in 20 receptions for 282 receiving yards with one touchdown reception. During his short stint out west, Anderson had just two receptions for 10 yards in six games.
Now heading back to his home state of Florida, the former New York Jets star is looking for a fresh start.
The NFL world reacted to the huge Dolphins news on social media:
Obviously, he wouldn’t command the same respect as the other guys. But, in theory, a defense would still have to respect him down the field, creating the intermediate space where Miami’s offense lives.

I was confused how he was calling this nobody a "weapon" then I googled him. This is Robby Anderson? The man legally changed his name to Chosen? https://t.co/PcePpLzQzB

Crazy to think he’d be third in a WR race. https://t.co/0iVgJd9aJu

Robby “Chosen” Anderson is officially a Dolphin
In 2020, he had 95 catches for 1,100 yards. And in 2021 he had 53 catches for 520 yards for 5 TDs. He did this while having BAD QB play
Robby has top tier speed & should fit right in this Mcdaniel offense & now has a real QB again pic.twitter.com/n6SsUey9hE

If you don't understand why Miami is signing Chosen Anderson, then you haven't looked at Miami's depth chart enough. They let Mike Gesicki and Trent Sherfield go in Free Agency. Both guys were the #3 and #4 pass catchers for the Dolphins in the WR/TE room last season. (cont)
