A routine specialist swap that keeps Miami's long snapping position covered heading into 2026. Five headlines covered the move, mostly bundled with punter Seth Vernon's signing as a package specialist overhaul. Long snappers rarely move the needle, but stability at the position prevents costly special teams breakdowns. Fans largely shrug at specialist signings unless they directly impact field goals or punts. Addington is a modest depth insurance piece and should compete for the roster spot without much drama.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Miami Dolphins — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Tucker's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LSs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LS market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Tucker is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
