On Friday, Miami Dolphins wideout Braxton Berrios took to his Instagram account, posting a heartfelt goodbye to the 305. Berrios signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins last offseason, and after just 16 games, the two parties will not reunite next fall.
The former All-Pro poured his heart out via social media, saying, “I hated to see this one end. This year was one I’ll forever be grateful for; I got to come back to the city I call home and play for my childhood team. I’m thankful for all my guys I got to share the field with and everybody else in that building that made coming to work every day fun.” Miami Dolphins fans reacted strongly to his departure, wishing his tenure with the team resulted in more success.
Miami Dolphins Fans: Say Goodbye to Braxton Berrios
Berrios’ Instagram post made its rounds on Twitter (also known as X), with Miami Dolphins fans mostly disheartened by the news. Others believed Berrios never lived up to the offseason hype he received during his signing. The Miami Hurricanes product finished this year with 27 receptions for 238 yards and one score. He also operated as the team’s primary punt and kick returner.
Y’all blaming berrios for lack of production when our quarterback does not target tight ends or slots

I love when a player is able to do this. I didn't know Berrios was from Mia. This is dope, good for him. Really thought Mia would use him more, ai was a big fan of his in NY felt he'd be far more dangerous IN MIA

I didn’t think he did much for the offense. He was a great personality, and obviously a great human.
Wishing him the best!

We didn't use him how I thought we might, that "welker" type roll underneath for killer high % FDs.
Really weird how we needed that type of player for when the deeper routes are covered or we are under pressure, but it wasnt focused on enough

Miami Dolphins: Replacing Berrios in 2024
The main pieces of the Miami Dolphins offense will return next season. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa led the league in passing yards with 4,624. He also threw 29 touchdowns against 14 picks. Superstar receiver Tyreek Hill led the NFL in receiving yards (1,799) and receiving touchdowns (13). Fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle also surpassed 1,000 yards receiving. However, the third wide receiver position remains vacant, mainly due to the presumed loss of Braxton Berrios.
The Dolphins house former Dallas Cowboys receiver Cedrick Wilson. He caught 22 passes for 296 yards and three scores. The Dolphins also traded for former disgruntled Chicago Bears receiver Chase Claypool. The Six-foot-four wideout posted four receptions with the Dolphins. They could also opt to return Robbie Chosen. The eight-year NFL vet had just four catches this season but posted a 95-catch, 1,096-yard season with the Carolina Panthers in 2020.
