Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Links up with Las Vegas
Raheem Mostert is signing a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.The soon-to-be 33-year-old will join a new-look Vegas offense with Geno Smith at quarterback and Chip Kelly calling plays. It's about the best landing spot possible in terms of opportunity to earn snaps and touches, as the Raiders had arguably the worst backfield in the league last year and haven't signed any other free agents so far this offseason. Of course, more help likely is on the way, be it in the coming weeks via free agency or at the end of April during the NFL Draft. Mostert and Kelly briefly worked together in Philadelphia (2015) and San Francisco (2016), but at a point in Mostert's career when he was struggling to stick around the league and mostly playing special teams.

Raheem Mostert: Officially released by Miami
The Dolphins released Raheem Mostert on Friday.This was the expected move after Mostert's agent, Brett Tessler, announced it was going to happen earlier in the day Friday. Mostert turns 33 years old in April and is coming off a down 2024 season, rushing 85 times for 278 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games, just one year after leading the NFL with 18 rushing scores. The move clears over $2.97 million in cap space for the Dolphins. De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright currently sit atop the depth chart in the backfield for Miami, and Mostert will look for another team as a free agent.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Expected to be released by Miami
The Miami Dolphins informed Raheem Mostert that he will be released this offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.The move isn't yet official, but the Dolphins have informed Mostert's agent, Brett Tessler, of the impending move. It's a no-brainer for Miami and will clear more than $2.97 million against the salary cap. Mostert is coming off an extremely down year, rushing just 85 times for 278 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games just one season after leading the NFL with 18 rushing scores. De'Von Achane took over clear RB1 duties for the Dolphins, and even Jaylen Wright was playing ahead of Mostert for much of the year. Mostert turns 33 years old in April and may be running out of gas at this stage of his career.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Plays one offensive snap in finale
Raheem Mostert played one snap on offense and did not log a carry or target during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. He also played one snap on special teams.Mostert's disastrous 2024 campaign ended on a fittingly quiet note, as he totaled 85 carries for 278 yards and two touchdowns across 13 regular-season appearances. The veteran running back also secured 19 of 23 targets for 161 yards. Mostert's production totals in 2024 stand as a sharp contrast to his 2023 numbers, in which he scored 21 times and surpassed 1,000 yards. The 32-year-old remains under contract with Miami for 2025, but the Miami Dolphins have the option of a potential out for only $1 million in dead cap.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Inefficient in Week 17 win
Raheem Mostert rushed six times for three yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over Cleveland. He also secured both of his targets for 16 yards.Mostert, De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson were all inefficient out of the backfield versus the Browns, despite a game script in which Miami got out to an early lead and would have benefited from an ability to lean on the run. He'll attempt to bounce back Week 18 against the Jets, a divisional matchup in which a win could provide the Miami Dolphins with a playoff berth.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Double-digit touches in Week 16 win

He'll again help complement Achane on the road against Cleveland in Week 17.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Musters 21 total yards in return
Raheem Mostert rushed six times for eight yards and brought in all three targets for 13 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.Mostert made his return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury, and he finished with his third single-digit rushing yardage total in the last four games. Mostert's reception total was a new season high, yet it's clear he's a distant second fiddle, at best, to De'Von Achane in Miami's unproductive ground attack barring an injury to the latter.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Optimism for Week 15
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday he's "optimistic" Raheem Mostert (hip) will be able to play Sunday versus the Texans, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.Mostert has been limited in practice as of late due to a hip injury, the same issue that forced him to sit out Week 14 against the Jets. Even if he's active at Houston on Sunday, Mostert's opportunity share isn't guaranteed to bring fantasy relevance. The veteran back has combined for just 10 carries for 22 yards across his last four appearances, in addition to five grabs for 46 yards on seven targets.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Remains limited at practice
Raheem Mostert (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Mostert was a limited participant in practice throughout last week before he was inactive for Sunday's overtime win over the Jets. With that in mind, he'll likely need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday in order to approach this weekend's game against the Texans without an injury designation. If Mostert remains sidelined, however, added snaps out of the backfield would be available to reserve backs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson.
