The Miami Dolphins sort of had a punter competition going on, but that came to an end when it was announced that Ryan Stonehouse would be released. That meant Jake Bailey won the job and has left Dolphin fans unsure of how to feel about that. Bailey hasn’t been great since joining the Dolphins in 2023 but has developed good chemistry with kicker Jason Sanders. Sanders had one of this best seasons last year with Bailey as the holder and we can only hope Sanders can keep up that form.
