Football is back for the Miami Dolphins as their 13 drafted rookies and undrafted rookies reported for training camp yesterday. The Dolphins drafted two players in the first round in OL Kadyn Proctor and CB Chris Johnson. Both of them should be starters on day one with Proctor penciled in at left guard while Johnson should be starting at one of the cornerback spots.

There will be new starters at cornerback with the departures of Jack Jones and Rasul Douglas. As stated above, Johnson should lock down one of those spots as the front office and coaching staff have a...

It happens almost every year: a player who enters training camp as an unknown not only secures a spot on the final 53-man roster but emerges as a surprising contributor during the season. While these players rarely become high-profile stars or even starters, they often defy expectations as minimum-salary signings who were initially dismissed as mere camp bodies. Whether filling in for an injured starter, providing reliable depth, or excelling on special teams, these overlooked individuals often prove essential to the team’s success throughout the season.

So this evening’s Phinsider Question Of The Day is:

**Which player currently on the...

The Miami Dolphins placed rookie wide receiver Chris Bell on the active/non-football injury list on Tuesday afternoon while the third-round pick continues to work his way back from an ACL injury suffered while in college at Louisville. The ligament tear happened on November 22nd in a game against SMU, however since Bell wasn’t in the National Football League at that time, his designation is of the non-football variety.

According to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, Bell is still working to get back to “football mode” and the team is being cautious with their young investment.

When Jon-Eric Sullivan was hired as the Miami Dolphins’ newest general manager this offseason, he immediately put his stamp on the organization. Miami’s roster has undergone significant changes, with many players jettisoned by Sullivan in short order. However, when asked who he views as building blocks for the team moving forward, Miami’s GM named three pillars; running back De’Von Achane, center Aaron Brewer and linebacker Jordyn Brooks.

With Brooks signing a three-year, $51.3 million deal with the Dolphins on Tuesday, all three of Sullivan’s pillars have been inked to big-money contract extensions ahead of the 2026 NFL season — leaving...

The Miami Dolphins and linebacker Jordyn Brooks have agreed to a three-year contract extension, keeping the veteran with the team through the 2029 season. Earlier in the offseason, new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan identified core players he envisioned the Dolphins building around as they reset their roster for the future. With the extension of Brooks, Miami has now reached contract agreements with three of those players, including running back De’Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer.

Brooks’ extension and contract details were first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Jonah Savaiinaea did not have the most impressive rookie seasons. After being selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, there were high expectations that Savaiinaea would serve as a solid guard option. That was not the case as he was penciled in at left guard after spending the majority of his college time at right guard.

With a new coaching staff coming in, the plan is to move Savaiinaea to right guard with rookie Kadyn Proctor sliding into the left guard spot. Maybe a move back to right guard will make Savaiinaea a bit more comfortable and...

We’ve all been there—analyzing the latest draft class and speculating on who might become a future star or, at the very least, a solid long-term player for the Miami Dolphins. While our predictions sometimes pan out, they often fall flat. I’m not just talking about high-profile first-round busts, but those late-round picks or undrafted free agents who we just had a gut feeling about. Whether it was based on firsthand knowledge of their college career or a deeper dive into their tape, we all have that one player we were convinced would succeed at the next level, regardless of where...

After a major gutting — and restocking — of the Miami Dolphins’ depth-chart this offseason by new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, the team’s roster is lacking stars in the eyes of many personalities around the league. If you put stock into what the so-called experts are saying, it could be a very tough year for the team from sunny South Florida.

While players like running back De’Von Achane, center Aaron Brewer and linebacker Jordyn Brooks have received praise recently, it was two under-the-radar names that made Bill Barnwell’s fantasy “All-Backup Team” in an article released by ESPN on Monday morning....

The Miami Dolphins defensive line went through a youth movement last year when the team selected three defensive tackles in the 2025 NFL Draft. Then general manager Chris Grier selected Kenneth Grant in the first round, not knowing it would be his last first round selection with the team ever again. While his rookie year started slow, Grant eventually started to come around as the season went on and with a new defensive scheme with Jeff Hafley, the hope is that Grant’s potential can be unleashed.

With our Miami Dolphins heading to training camp just around the corner, I asked the following question this past week:

Who is your projected Miami Dolphins breakout candidate on offense for the upcoming season, and why?

Below are some of your thoughts and answers-

Cyberflea highlights the one guy who must “breakout” this season if we hope for anything that looks like success on the field.

The player that must breakout is QB Malik Willis. The most important position in football. Dulcich will be Willis’s security blanket and should have a very good season. My sleeper is WR Kevin...

The Miami Dolphins are going through a youth movement as new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan aims to build this team to his image. The Dolphins did need to get younger but there are still some valuable veterans left on the roster. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler has been around this team since 2019 and quickly turned himself into one of their best defensive players.

Last season was not Sieler’s best, but there were plenty of factors in that. He had to help three rookies get adjusted to the NFL level and his snap average per game went down. Sieler should be...
