Dolphins re-signing O-lineman Lamm, sources say
The Dolphins are resigning offensive tackle Kendall Lamm, a league source told the Miami Herald, bringing back a reliable veteran who filled in multiple times as a starter last season.
Lamm, 31, is returning on a one-year deal, a source said. He started eight games at both tackle spots in 2023.
The Dolphins originally signed Lamm in November 2022 amid a slew of injuries. He started one game, a Week 17 matchup against New England, but injured his ankle and did not play in the final two games.
He re-signed on a oneyear deal for 2023 and started the first two games at left tackle as Terron Armstead dealt with an injury. He later filled in for one game at right tackle when Austin Jackson was hurt.
With Lamm returning for another season as the top swing tackle option, the only unresolved position along the line is starting right guard. Miami has multiple in-house candidates to replace Robert Hunt, who signed with the Carolina Panthers, including Liam Eichenberg, Robert Jones, Lester Cotton and recently signed Jack Driscoll. The Dolphins have also been in communication with free agent guards and could look to the draft this month to add depth.

Blaine Gabbert was the only backup to throw a pass last season for the Chiefs; he is now a free agent. Chad Henne, a former Dolphin, served as Mahomes’ primary backup from 2020 through 2022.

She is owed $2.22 million.
