By signing Malik Willis to a $67.5 million contract, with $45 million guaranteed, the Miami Dolphins have clearly signaled that the new regime intends for him to be the undisputed starter for the 2026-2027 NFL season. Replacing Tua Tagovailoa with Willis marks a major transition that will undoubtedly require a significant shift in the team’s offensive identity.
With that, this evening’s Phinsider Question Of The Day (because I know secretly that you were all just dying for another Malik Willis post):

The Miami Dolphins may not put forth an exciting product for fans during the 2026 season, but at least they’ll be dressed for success while you’re watching them try.
This week, Sports Illustrated released their rankings of the best uniforms in the entire National Football League, and the Dolphins cracked the top-10 — coming in at #9 overall. The Rams brought up the rear, checking in at number #32, while the stinkin’ New York Jets were just one spot ahead at #31. The Los Angeles Chargers earned the top spot.
The Dolphins were the highest rated AFC East team in...

Let’s be real for a second.
No one expects the Miami Dolphins to experience much success during the first season of new head coach Jeff Hafley’s tenure with the organization. After all, the franchise is in the beginning stages of yet another rebuild attempt after parting ways with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, pass rusher Bradley Chubb, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, and on and on…
Suffice to say, it could be a very, very rough year for the Dolphins.
But, walk with me for a minute. What if the 2026 Miami Dolphins come together to shock...

With an entirely revamped roster, there will be several players on the Miami Dolphins who will need to step up if they want to be part of the team moving forward. Chop Robinson is one of those players who needs to show he belongs. He had a disappointing second season after finishing his rookie season on a high note. Maybe with a new defensive scheme, he can flourish in a new system.

The Miami Dolphins enter the 2026 season with little expectations as a new regime has entered town and gutted the roster. The team did need to go through some changes and hopefully with some time, they can get back to their winning ways. But looking ahead to this upcoming season, there are a few games that are rather interesting. In December, the Dolphins will take on Jeff Hafley’s old team when the go to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers. Then the following week, they will take on the Las Angeles Chargers where they will face on...

As the Miami Dolphins enter another season under a new regime and navigate significant roster changes, there is a palpable sense of uncertainty surrounding the team. Like many of you, however, I am eager to see how the squad performs once the regular season begins. Miami faces a challenging road ahead, as the team is still in a rebuilding phase and must contend with both the second-most difficult schedule in the NFL and the highest travel mileage of any team playing exclusively domestic games this season. Below is the 2026-2027 Miami Dolphins NFL schedule:
Week 1 (Sept. 13): at Las...

Last week, a devastating earthquake hit the country of Venezuela, leaving tens of thousands of people missing and a confirmed death toll of over 1,700 people at the time of this writing.
On Tuesday morning, the Miami Dolphins announced that through the Miami Dolphins Foundation, the organization and owner Stephen Ross would be donating $100,000 towards the relief efforts taking place in Venezuela.
“Venezuela needs our help. They are in desperate need of resources following the devastating earthquakes. The Miami Dolphins Foundation is donating $100,000 to assist in relief efforts. Please consider joining us with a donation or by...

With just over two months left until the start of next season, the NFL offseason is nearly complete. Free agency and the draft have passed, post-June 1st cuts and trades have largely been completed, and teams are looking forward to Week 1 of the 2026 season.
The Miami Dolphins, of course, are one of those teams. Miami’s offseason was eventful, to say the least. The team moved off a number of key veterans and starters from the previous year, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Many have questioned whether or not Miami made the...

Between fans and analysts, there isn’t much hope for the Miami Dolphins this upcoming season after gutting their roster to get younger. This season should be all about laying the foundation under new head coach Jeff Hafley. This team isn’t going to win much, probably. But wins shouldn’t be what we judge Hafley and the Dolphins on this year.

This time of year, NFL analysts often scramble for storylines during the offseason’s news drought. ESPN, as a dominant force in sports media—particularly following their increased control over the NFL Network—is no exception to this trend. One of those recent storylines on ESPN was who has been the biggest surprise for individual NFL teams this offseason. For our Miami Dolphins, ESPN went with tight end Greg Dulcich.
The blurb regarding our Dolphins (HERE) was written by Marcel Louis-Jacques, a reporter familiar to most Phins fans. He noted that starting quarterback Malik Willis clearly displayed trust in Dulcich during team drills....

The Miami Dolphins had two first round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft — Jon-Eric Sullivan’s first as the team’s new general manager. Offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor was taken with the 12th overall pick, while cornerback Chris Johnson was nabbed with the 27th selection after Miami traded up with the San Francisco 49ers.
ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques provided updates on both rookies in an article released by the four-letter network on Monday morning.
On Proctor, Louis-Jacques had this to say:
“Proctor has made a positive impression on his teammates, with center Aaron Brewer saying he looks like a veteran through...
