Waived as part of roster reshaping; this move opens depth charts and reflects the team’s emphasis on veteran presence and flexible evaluation.

2023 second-round pick from South Carolina who struggled to secure a defensive role, spent time on reserve/NFI, and was released by Miami after a uneven two-year span.

Cam Smith was the Dolphins' 2023 second-round pick, making the Dolphins' CB room young and crowded. His inclusion in the draft fabric plus Brents' waiver claim keeps Miami building depth and competition around their top corners. Smith's background as a former Dolphins draftee adds familiarity to the room, while the new additions push for more competition and higher defensive ceiling.

Cam Smith lands on the non-football injury list, creating an early-season depth gap at cornerback. Rasul Douglas’ signing adds veteran presence, and Smith’s status will shape how Miami rotates CBs and manages the nickel role in the first weeks.

Cam Smith earned a surprising spot on the Dolphins' 53-man roster after showing improvement late in camp, despite hamstring issues for other corners. His emergence supports Miami's youth-building approach and provides a dynamic option at outside corner.
