In 27 career games,Shaheenrecorded 26 receptions on 33 targets for 249 yards and four touchdowns. He made seven starts for the Bears in 2017 after the club drafted him No. 45 overall that year out ofAshlandUniversity.
Shaheenjoins a Dolphins position group that already features MikeGesicki, DurhamSmythe, Chandler Cox and Michael Roberts.
The Bears went searching for a new tight end this offseason, signing Jimmy Graham to a two-year, $16 million deal and drafting Notre Dame product ColeKmetwith its first pick in the NFL draft (No. 43 overall), leaving the team with a bit of a logjam on the roster.
