Who Should I Start? Zane Gonzalez or Elliott Fry

Tuesday, March 10, 9:41 AM

Veteran free-agent kicker Zane Gonzalez agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, agent Mike McCartney told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gonzalez will be joining his sixth team as he heads into his eighth NFL season. The 30-year-old former seventh-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2017 out of Arizona State kicked in nine games for the Atlanta Falcons last year and was solid, making 19 of his 22 field-goal attempts (7-for-9 from 50-plus yards) while missing just one of his 18 extra-point tries. The Dolphins already released long-time kicker Jason Sanders, and Riley Patterson, who filled in nicely in 2025, could leave in free agency, so Gonzalez gives Miami's new coaching staff an experienced fallback option at placekicker. In an offense that will be led by new quarterback Malik Willis, Gonzalez will be a low-end kicking option, at best, in fantasy football leagues if he's the starter this fall.
