The Miami Dolphins are evaluating options to improve their wide receiver corps, particularly after moving on from star players Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. Former Carolina Panthers first-round pick Xavier Legette, who has struggled to find consistent production, could be a viable target. Legette had 49 catches for 497 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie but saw his numbers decline last season. With the Dolphins' current roster lacking depth at receiver, adding Legette could enhance their offensive game plan and provide new quarterback Malik Willis with more targets. Discussions may ramp up as the 2026 trade deadline approaches.
