Wide receiver Braxton Berrios of the Miami Dolphins took to his Instagram account on Friday to bid a heartfelt farewell to the 305 area code. After just 16 games, Berrios inked a one-year deal with the Dolphins in the winter, but their paths will diverge come autumn.
Utilizing social media, the former All-Pro bared his emotions, expressing, “It’s tough to see this chapter come to a close.” I’ll forever cherish this past year as it afforded me the opportunity to play for my hometown team once again. Grateful for all the individuals I collaborated with on the field and behind the scenes, making every day at work enjoyable. Following news of his departure, fervent supporters of the Miami Dolphins voiced their longing for continued success during his tenure with the team.
Miami Dolphins Fans Express Disappointment Over Braxton Berrios’ Departure

Miami Dolphins Offense Set for Season Return with Key Players; Berrios’s Injury Creates Wide Receiver Vacancy
The core members of the Miami Dolphins’ offense are set to return for the upcoming season. Tua Tagovailoa led the league in passing yards with 4,624, accompanied by 29 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. NFL superstar Tyreek Hill dominated with 13 touchdowns and 1,799 receiving yards, while Jaylen Waddle also surpassed the 1,000-yard mark. However, speculation about Braxton Berrios’s injury has left the third wide receiver position vacant.
Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Cedrick Wilson has joined the Dolphins, recording 22 catches for 296 yards and 3 touchdowns. Additionally, the team acquired Chase Claypool, formerly of the Chicago Bears, who stands at six-foot-four and made four receptions during his time with the Dolphins. Alternatively, they may opt to reinstate Robbie Chosen. Despite only four catches this season, the eight-year NFL veteran boasted a remarkable 1,096-yard, 95-catch season with the Carolina Panthers in 2020.
