A low-risk flier on a former Cowboys backup with limited proven production. Multiple headlines warn Tolbert is likely a letdown, signaling weak media confidence. His Cowboys exit after minimal impact is the clearest red flag here. Fans question why Miami targets a low-upside receiver instead of an established starter. Tolbert projects as a roster bubble candidate who faces an uphill battle making Miami's final 53.

This signing grades out as a reasonable signing for the Miami Dolphins — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Jalen's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL WRs, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $1.4M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the WR market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid starter output at a below-market price point represents solid asset management. Jalen is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
