The Dolphins signed Brown to a contract Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Brown is an experienced veteran tight end with proven capabilities as a rotational blocker. He handled such a role across 15 regular-season appearances with the Seahawks in 2024, averaging 16.3 offensive snaps per game while drawing only 12 total targets. That skillset fills an area of need for Miami, with Durham Smythe having departed for Chicago in free agency.

The Dolphins signed Brown to a contract Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Brown is an experienced veteran tight end with proven capabilities as a rotational blocker. He handled such a role across 15 regular-season appearances with the Seahawks in 2024, averaging 16.3 offensive snaps per game while drawing only 12 total targets. That skillset fills an area of need for Miami, with Durham Smythe having departed for Chicago in free agency.
Brown recorded eight catches (on 12 targets) for 65 yards over 15 games with the Seahawks in 2024. Brown averaged 16.3 offensive snaps per game, finishing behind both Noah Fant and rookie fourth-round pick AJ Barner. The 30-year-old tight end will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so he may end up on his fifth team in four years.
Brown caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals. Brown served as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner because Noah Fant (groin) was inactive. This was Brown's best game of the season, but with Fant seemingly on track for Week 13 versus the Jets, Brown will have little fantasy value going forward.
Brown (groin) was estimated to be a full participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Brown opened the week as a limited participant Monday with an apparent groin issue, but the tight end now appears to be a full go ahead of Week 6. The 30-year-old has recorded three catches for 19 yards over three games with Seattle this season.
Brown (groin) was estimated to be a limited participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Brown appears to be dealing with some sort of groin issue to open the week after recording a catch for seven yards in the team's 29-20 loss to the Giants in Week 5. With Seattle playing the 49ers on Thursday Night Football, it bodes well for the tight end that was considered to be limited and not unavailable Monday.
Brown (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports. Brown popped up on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday as a limited participant in practice due to a foot issue, but now appears he'll play through the pain Sunday. Expect Brown to see some offensive work and serve as Seattle's No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant in Week 5.
Brown (foot) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. The backup tight end recorded one catch on two targets on 25 snaps during Seattle's loss to Detroit on Monday. Starter Noah Fant was also limited for the second straight day Thursday, leaving AJ Barner and Brady Russell as the only healthy tight ends on Seattle's roster at the moment.
Brown (foot) was a limited participant in the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Brown popped up on the injury report Wednesday after recording just one catch during the team's loss to Detroit last week. With Noah Fant (toe) also questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Giants, AJ Barner could end up seeing an expanded role.
Brown caught one of two targets for three yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions. Brown finished with just one catch on two targets for the second-straight contest. The veteran tight end's 31 percent snap share was down from Week 3, as teammates Noah Fant and AJ Barner both played ahead of him. Brown remains in a depth role with limited opportunities in Seattle's offense, keeping him off the fantasy radar heading into Week 5 matchup with the Giants.
