On the same day as he was named a top-10 linebacker in the National Football League by ESPN in a poll of unnamed coaches, executives and scouts, Miami Dolphins defender Jordyn Brooks also found himself being honored by landing at #67 (insert sophomoric hand gesture here) on the NFL Top 100 list.
Here is what the league’s website had to say about Miami’s stud.
“Brooks is one of the NFL’s surest tackling machines. He led the league in solo tackles (99) for a second occasion last season, and for the first time paced all defenders in total takedowns to...

The latest positional ranking from ESPN dropped this morning, and this time, linebackers were the ones getting recognized. While the Miami Dolphins are lacking in stars due to the mass exodus of talent that coincided with the organization’s latest rebuild attempt, one spot where they seem to have talent is the linebacker room.
Last year, Miami’s stud linebacker Jordyn Brooks was recognized as a first-team All-Pro player by the Associated Press — marking the first time in his six-year career he has earned those honors. He led the National Football League in tackles — wracking up 183 total tackles and...

This offseason has been all about change for the Miami Dolphins. A new general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan, and head coach, Jeff Hafley, were brought in to hopefully right the ship. With the new front office in place, the Dolphins roster went through a big overhaul. QB Tua Tagovailoa is gone, WR Tyreek Hill is gone, and those were moves that had to be made. This first season should be all about establishing the culture and hopefully seeing some of the younger players flourish.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

The Miami Dolphins underwent a major roster overhaul this offseason as the new regime prioritized youth and scheme-fit players. By moving on from veterans with expensive contracts, the front office has successfully addressed long-term salary cap concerns, positioning the team for greater financial flexibility in what will hopefully be a future championship window. For this strategy to succeed, however, the team’s young core must evolve and produce the breakout seasons necessary to turn potential into consistent, competitive performance. Below are some of the so-called offensive “breakout candidates” for this coming season:

The Miami Dolphins gave former #5 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, his walking-papers this offseason when new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan began the organization’s latest rebuild upon taking the job in South Florida. Soon after, the lefty signal-caller was picked up by the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons already had a lefty starting quarterback — the #8 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Michael Penix — which left some wondering who would be the man lining up behind center come the start of the 2026 regular season.
During his interview with former Dolphins left tackle,...

As the offseason continues to trudge along, ESPN continues to release their rankings of all positions in the National Football League. Jeremy Fowler surveyed league executives, coaches and scouts to determine the top-10 at each spot, and in their latest release — interior offensive linemen — the Dolphins find themselves with a representative.
Dolphins newly paid starting center — Aaron Brewer — checks in at #10 on ESPN’s list. While slotting in as the 10th best interior offensive lineman in the league, he sits as the 3rd best center — coming in behind Creed Humphrey of the Kansas City Chiefs...

The Miami Dolphins lack a big name at the wide receiver position. They have plenty of young, unproven talent along with some veterans looking to earn bigger roles. When training camp rolls around and the unit isn’t looking too promising, there are still a couple of veteran options on the market if the team decides they need to add one. Stefon Diggs is still out there but may not be a good fit for this team, personality wise. Someone like Deebo Samuel may make more sense, provided the price is right.

After following the national NFL conversation, it’s clear that expectations for the Miami Dolphins this season are dismal. Most media outlets and talking heads are predicting a difficult year, with consensus ranging from 2 to 5 wins. This skepticism is mirrored in the betting markets, where major sportsbooks like FanDuel and MGM have set the Dolphins’ over/under at just 4.5 wins. Expert projections are similarly pessimistic: ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques anticipates four wins, while his colleague Mike Clay expects only 2.5. Meanwhile, Sports Illustrated analysts predict three wins or fewer, and a panel of NFL.com writers ranges from a low of...

The Miami Dolphins are preparing for the start of their 2026 training camp in a few weeks. The team is in a complete rebuild mode this year, turning over from the era of general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel to the new team of GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley. To go along with those changes, the team has reset their roster, using this year as a chance to get the salary cap under control and to move from a veteran team trying to win now to a team looking to grow together and hit...

As the Miami Dolphins transition from the offseason to training camp this month, rookies are set to report on July 21st, with veterans following on July 28th. Soon after, the team will begin opening select practices to the public. The full list of fan-accessible dates is provided below.

Over the recent years, the Miami Dolphins have been seen as a soft football team under former head coach, Mike McDaniel. When the team played bigger, more physical teams the results were never pretty. Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley are now looking to be the bully and not the bullied. You can see that in their very first draft selection with Kadyn Proctor, who is a huge man that moves well. It may not happen this season, but give the new front office some time to get their players in here and we can judge for ourselves if this team...
