Running back Raheem Mostert has reached agreement on a two-year deal to return to the Miami Dolphins, agent Brett Tessler told ESPN on Tuesday.
The deal is worth $7.6 million with incentives, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. After signing last year with the Dolphins as a free agent, Mostert set career highs in both rushing yards (891) and carries (181) while playing for first-year head coach Mike McDaniel, who was Mostert's offensive coordinator the previous season with the San Francisco 49ers.
Originally slated to split carries with Chase Edmonds, Mostert, 30, seized control of the Dolphins' backfield in Week 4 and operated as their lead back until the team traded for his former 49ers teammate Jeff Wilson Jr.
in Week 9. Mostert's best performance of the season came in a last-second loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15, when he rushed for 136 yards on 17 carries.
