In a surprising move, the Miami Dolphins have fired wide receivers coach and pass game specialist Wes Welker. The former Patriots star had been with the team for three seasons, helping to develop one of the NFL’s most explosive receiving duos in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Welker is a former Patriots legend who served in the role under Mike McDaniel for three seasons. He worked with an explosive receiving duo in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle during his time with the team. However, after another disappointing end to a season, the Dolphins thought it was best to move in a different direction.

The Miami Dolphins say they have fired special teams coordinator Danny Crossman and wide receivers coach/pass game specialist Wes Welker.
