Miami Dolphins add tight end Michael Roberts to roster

Michael Roberts, the former tight end for the Detroit Lions is now a member of the Miami Dolphins and will compete for a roster spot in 2020. It won’t be easy but there is upside to the young tight end.

In June of 2019, the New England Patriots tried to trade for Roberts but the deal fell through after Roberts could not pass his physical. He did not play in 2019 due to the shoulder injury and subsequent release by Detroit after the trade fell through. He was signed by the Packers and released the next day.
