"Futures contracts allow the team to immediately bring back players following the end to their season and before the start of the new league year, securing their rights for next season without affecting the current year's salary cap. Unlike the six signed previously in the offseason, most of Friday's four signings didn't have previous ties to the Dolphins and their practice squad."
"Daniels is the only one of the four who is returning to the Dolphins after being on the practice squad last season. The lineman who can play guard and tackle has also spent time on the practice squads of Dallas, Houston, the L.A. Chargers (2024) and Philadelphia (2024). He entered the NFL as a fourth-round selection (118th overall) by Washington in the 2023 NFL Draft."
"Turner has appeared in 23 games with three starts in three seasons with Washington and Tennessee from 2022 through 2025, recording 13 receptions for 143 yards. Warren has appeared in 14 career games with six starts in two seasons with the New York Jets in 2023 and 2024. Cooper has appeared in one game with Cleveland last season after he entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie with Detroit in 2025 and spent time on the practice squad with the Lions and the Browns."
Miami signed four players to futures contracts: defensive tackle Keith Cooper Jr., tight end Cole Turner and offensive linemen Braeden Daniels and Carter Warren. The additions bring Miami to 10 total futures deals after six were signed earlier in the week. Futures contracts secure player rights for the upcoming season without affecting the current salary cap and allow teams to re-sign players between seasons. Daniels returns after spending time on Miami's practice squad and several other practice squads; he was a fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Turner, Warren and Cooper possess varying regular-season experience with Washington, Tennessee, the Jets, Cleveland and Detroit.
