NFL Trade Rumors
Projected Cap Space: -$6.7 million
Draft Picks: 10
Notable Free Agents:
1 – Interior Offensive Line
The Dolphins are set to lose both starting guards from last season in Jones and Eichenberg, plus a player in Wynn who the team had hoped would be part of the solution before a quad injury scuttled the majority of the past two seasons. Eichenberg is a former high draft pick who never settled into a solid role, while Jones is a former undrafted free agent who was pressed into a starting role after the Dolphins lost G Robert Hunt to the Panthers in free agency last year.
It’s not out of the question any of the three could be back but this is also an opportunity for Miami to try and upgrade a spot that’s been a bit of a weakness over the past few years.

2 – Defensive Line
Last year, the Dolphins threw a bunch of one-year darts to try and replace the turnover up front on the defensive line after losing Christian Wilkins, Raekwon Davis and others.

Miami could make a run at re-signing Campbell, who was excellent for the Dolphins in 2024. But even though he continues to defy widely accepted beliefs about aging each season, the 38-year-old is not a long-term solution. He might not even have the Dolphins first on his wish list, as winning a championship is about the only thing Campbell hasn’t accomplished in his long and illustrious career.
With how tight the budget is for the Dolphins, expect Miami to devote a couple of its 10 selections to defensive tackle in what’s widely viewed as the deepest draft at that position in some time.
3 – Safety
Continuing a theme for a Dolphins team that has 26 pending unrestricted free agents, Miami is currently set to lose both starting safeties from last year with Holland and Poyer on expiring deals. Of the two, the Dolphins are far more likely to try...
