The Miami Dolphins signed quarterback Zac Dysert and tight end Dominique Jones to reserve/future contracts.

Dysert was a seventh-round selection by the Denver Broncos in the 2013 NFL Draft. He was on the Broncos’ active roster for the entire 2013 season. Dysert was a member of Denver’s practice squad in 2014 and spent time on the Houston and Buffalo practice squads in 2015. He played collegiately at Miami (Ohio) and became the school’s all-time leading passer with 12,013 career passing yards, surpassing former Redhawk and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Jones entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Indianapolis Colts in 2012, playing in four games that season. He played in eight NFL games in 2013, six with Indianapolis and two with the Kansas City Chiefs, and appeared in one contest for the Broncos in 2014. For his career, Jones has played in 13 games (three starts), with three receptions for 42 yards. He was briefly on Miami’s practice squad in 2012.
