The Miami Dolphins officially said goodbye to safety Omar Brown on Tuesday.
According to the NFL transaction wire, the Dolphins waived Brown with an injury settlement. His official injury has been undisclosed.
The Dolphins first waived Brown with an injury designation Friday. But he cleared waivers, which reverted him back to the Miami injured reserve list.
By the two sides reaching an injury settlement, Brown could play for another team this season once healthy.
Brown is entering his third season in the league. During the 2024 NFL Draft process, he received strong reviews for his athleticism.
“There is a lot to like on tape for Brown, who received his first meaningful reps for Nebraska in 2023 after transferring from Northern Iowa before the 2022 season. He has adequate size and plays fast with quick eyes and explosive closing burst,” wrote NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein. “He’s adept in man coverage from the slot and has enough awareness and range to handle split safety duties. His urgent demeanor guides him toward playmaking opportunities and away from defaulting into consistently ‘safe’ options.
“He’s both a striker and a tackler but will need to improve his approach, as he tends to come in too hot, leading to misses. Brown possesses the versatility, instincts and traits to compete for NFL reps.
