Source: Dolphins have reached agreement with tight end Anthony Fasano, who is coming back to Miami where he played 5 seasons. Solid pickup.
Great pick up as far as fitting a need. We'll see what we paid, but he is one of the bet run blocking tight ends in the league, which is exactly what we needed.

Dolphins adding Anthony Fasano. He was the best run blocking TE last year and it wasn't close. Good for Jay Ajayi. -

Initially I wasn't a huge fan of the Fasano deal when I heard the news. Then I remembered we acquired Julius Thomas too. Fasano in that blocking TE role is nice at this point. Thomas, Fasano, Marquies Gray.. I like that unit for now.
One of the beat writers on twitter commented that Fasano was graded as the #1 TE blocking against the run last season. Sims was apparently 41st behind.... the newly acquired Julius Thomas. That's your main reason for Fasano coming back before anyone freaks out lol -
Seriously - what a lousy run blocker Sims was based on that ranking.
