On Wednesday, the Miami Dolphins claimed offensive guard Christian Haynes off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks despite the Baltimore Ravens announcing earlier in the day that they were the team to claim the former third round pick. With Miami being higher on the waiver priority list, Haynes is heading to sunny South Florida.

Haynes, drafted in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, started five games for Seattle this season, but was deemed expendable after the Seahawks traded for star offensive guard Quenton Nelson — formerly of the Indianapolis Colts — earlier this week. Over his three-year career with Seattle, Haynes has played in a total of 31 games.

To make room for Haynes, the Dolphins waived rookie guard DJ Campbell — the 200th pick (6th round) of the 2026 NFL Draft out of Texas. Campbell had not played in a game for Miami this season as he’s been a healthy scratch for the club each week.

With starting left guard Kadyn Proctor currently in concussion protocol, the Dolphins add Haynes to an offensive guard group that also includes starting right guard Jonah Savaiinaea and reserve linemen Caedan Wallace and Jarrett Kingston.
