NOVEMBER 17: Chosen is indeed a candidate to return to the Dolphins via a practice squad spot, NFL.com’s Cameron Wolfe tweets. A team claiming the veteran wide receiver by this afternoon’s deadline would nix that plan, but the Dolphins want to retain Chosen as insurance. Both Claypool and Berrios are on Miami’s injury report, pointing to a Chosen path back to the active roster for Week 11.
NOVEMBER 16: The Dolphins have already activated River Cracraft off injured reserve, adding a seventh wide receiver to their active roster. They are also moving toward having De’Von Achane back on the 53. They turned toward their skill-position corps to create an additional spot.
The team waived Robbie Chosen on Thursday. Known lately for name changes, Chosen is in his eighth NFL season. This is familiar territory for Chosen. The Cardinals, after they acquired Chosen before the 2022 trade deadline, cut bait in March. The Dolphins signed him to a one-year, $1.32MM deal this offseason.
Chosen, 30, has played in four Dolphins games as a backup; he caught one pass with the team. This move could also result in Anderson being bumped back down to Miami’s practice squad. The veteran pass catcher served as a gameday elevation at multiple points this season. Chosen would need to clear waivers first, however. Although Chosen is a vested veteran, the trade deadline having passed makes every cut player subject to waivers.
Not too far removed from signing a Panthers extension worth $29.5MM over two years, the former Robby Anderson, Robbie Anderson and Chosen Anderson has drifted away from starter status over the past two seasons. A midgame sideline dustup led the Panthers to send Chosen to the Cardinals for late-round compensation last year. This came after the team fired Matt Rhule, who had coached Chosen at Temple. Chosen, who topped 1,000 receiving yards with the Panthers in 2020, has just 21 receptions over the past two seasons.
Even if this is it for Chosen in Miami, the Dolphins have extensive experience supplementing Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In addition to Cracraft, Braxton Berrios, Cedrick Wilson and Chase Claypool reside as tertiary targets. The team acquired Claypool last month in a late-round pick swap with the Bears. Miami designated Achane for return this week, and Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz notes the rookie speedster is expected to be activated for Week 11.
Practice squad or free agency. As for any teams that could add him to scout team, a few could be Patriots, Giants, Seahawks or Browns
SentinelATL Bills could be an option with the Joe Brady OC connection, Chosen was a nice weapon in his Carolina offense.
That too. Good pick
The guy is a joke. See you in Nevruary Chosen
“Known lately for name changes” gave me a good laugh
Was just gonna post that hah
13 times including the title in case anyone was wondering.
Signing his wasn’t a wise choice
Clearly NOT the CHOSEN one !!
“He chose…poorly”
The pic in this report might be of that one time he was targeted here in AZ
Guy is a nut job. He’d fit in well with the Jets or Ravens.
The WR formerly known as Robby Anderson diva’ed his way off the Jets well before the pandemic. Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh don’t want divas anywhere near Florham Park.
Newly named Robbie Unchosen. What a stiff. Had anyone made so much with so little talent only to blow it all on name changes?
Wait, when was he Chosen Anderson? Is that real? So he’s been Robbie Anderson, Robby Anderson, Chosen Anderson, and Robbie Chosen?
This guy is a tool.
Miami has chosen to go in a different direction
It seems he has Chosen the wrong team to join as a free agent, as they are loaded at wide receiver. Maybe Buffalo should give him a try since Diggs is often the only receiver open.
