Waller retired prior to the 2024 season before returning to sign with Miami in 2025. The Dolphins acquired him from the Giants for a 2026 sixth-round pick. The 33-year-old veteran missed training camp and the start of the season due to a hip injury but managed to contribute effectively when healthy.
He finished the year on injured reserve after sustaining a groin injury. With 10 years of experience and Pro Bowl honors, Waller provides veteran leadership, though the team must decide whether to re-sign him or let him walk as he approaches the end of his career.
