Ben Sims: Everything you need to know

Sims and the Dolphins agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Sims was on the Packers' active roster at the start of the 2025 campaign. He was waived by Green Bay in late October but opted to stay in the NFC North and signed with Minnesota, and he finished with three catches (on six targets) for 30 yards across eight regular-season games for the Vikings. Sims currently projects to serve as the Dolphins' TE2 behind Greg Dulcich, with the former likely to also contribute on special teams.

Sims caught three passes for 30 yards across 11 games during the 2025 campaign. Sims began the season with the Packers but was let go in October and was subsequently claimed off waivers by the Vikings. The 25-year-old contributed on both offense and special teams in Minnesota and is set to be a restricted free agent this offseason.

Sims had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington. It was surprising to see Sims get a target as he'd played just ten snaps on offense since joining the Vikings in October. However, the Vikings used plenty of three-tight-end sets in the win. Sims isn't likely to get more than a few targets the rest of the season unless injuries strike T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver, however.
