DJ Moore to Buffalo, and now Dolphins fans can officially mark themselves safe from seeing Jaylen Waddle in a Bills uniform

The Dolphins have re-signed 2022 7th round pick Cameron Goode

He's played primarily on special teams during his three seasons but played a career-high 108 defensive snaps in 2025

2026 NFL free agency: Projecting deals for QB Malik Willis Our NFL Nation reporters played GM and made contract offers for free agent quarterback Malik Willis. Which teams can make the best case to land him?

I had the Dolphins passing on Malik Willis -- but if this is the winning offer, there might be a chance he ends up in South Beach

Personally, I think Miami can make do with Quinn Ewers for at least a season, then really attack "getting their guy" in 2027.

Thoughts?

The Dolphins have released former second round pick OL Liam Eichenbergβ€” who missed the entire 2025 season with a leg injury

They also tendered ERFA CB Ethan Bonner

Dolphins' GM Jon-Eric Sullivan said the team has an "uphill climb" this offseason. He's focused on strengthening the team's foundation and is prepared to play the long game:

"We're not looking for quick fixes here. We're looking to build something that will last over time."

The Dolphins see De’Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle as important parts of their franchise

They’ll listen to offers for both players (as they would for any player) but the plan is for Achane and Waddle to remain in Miami, per Jon-Eric Sullivan

Miami not actively shopping either player

The Dolphins are listening to offers for S Minkah Fitzpatrick, β€œeverything is on the table” with him per Jon-Eric Sullivan

Came from a parody account but Jaylen Waddle still shutting it down οΏΌ

Jon-Eric Sullivan wants a good support system around whoever the Dolphins’ quarterback will be β€” keeping Waddle in South Florida would help with that

The Dolphins are releasing WR Tyreek Hill β€” the former all pro suffered a dislocated knee in 2025 and missed the remainder of the season

An expected move considering the direction Miami is going. It’s unclear where he will play in 2026 but it will not be in South Florida οΏΌ

16.02.2026 16:35 πŸ‘ 26 πŸ” 3 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 4

Per source, the Dolphins are releasing offensive lineman James Daniels with immediate effect

οΏΌHοΏΌe was Miami’s biggest signing of the 2025 offseason but suffered a season-ending pectoral injury three snaps into the season

The Kings have lost by 54 combined points in their past two games

Those games were against the Pelicans and the Jazz, in case y’all were wondering who the real tank commander οΏΌ is

Watching Lindsey Vonn hit 70mph downhill on a torn ACL had me thinking

If she wins gold, where does it rank among all-time Olympic feats?

Why Dolphins' Jeff Hafley wrestled his new DC from Green Bay Sean Duggan, who is the second-youngest DC in the NFL, has been with the new Dolphins coach since 2019.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur told Jeff Hafley he was keeping then-linebackers coach Sean Duggan. Hafley made a simple counter:

"No -- Sean's coming with me."

More on why the Miami Dolphins' new coach made a 32-year-old "rising star" his defensive coordinator:

Slowik praises Tagovailoa but won't divulge Dolphins' QB plans Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik praised quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for how he handled his benching last season but stopped short of sharing the team's plans for him in 2026.

The Dolphins are "way early" in the player evaluation process but plan to add competition at the quarterback position -- just like every position.

More from new OC Bobby Slowik today:

Dolphins STC Chris Tabor on WR/Returner Malik Washington:

"I think he has game-changing ability ... I love his contact balance. I really like that he can get some yards after contact."

Said he's looking forward to meeting him and being on his side instead of game planning for him

β€œThey play with great effort and they play violently … You see a group that’s hungry and plays really hard.”

Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik said the team’s offense will revolve around its strengths β€” and notably will focus on establishing the run

In regard to Tua Tagovailoa:

β€œWe’re way early in the process … We’re going to try to push competition as often as we can at every spot.”

"We're going to invest in that position every year if we can ... We will draft quarterbacks every year, if not every other year ... We'll be very active in adding quarterbacks to make that room as deep as possible"

Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric "Sully" Sullivan

Sullivan said that while quarterback is the most important position, the Dolphins will build "from the inside out"

Added Miami will not address the QB position "in an irresponsible manner" and wants to make sure that when they "find their guy," he is set up to succeed

Jeff Hafley said he left Boston College in part because of how the college football landscape had changed with NIL and the transfer portal

Said he just wants to coach football and there were a lot of factors at BC that were preventing him from doing so

"If you don't get this done, you'll never be able to say it was because you didn't have the resources."

Jon-Eric Sullivan said the Dolphins will be deliberate in free agency, but "will draft, develop and re-sign our own"

Said building through the draft helps establish a culture, and Miami will utilize free agency to find guys who fit that aforementioned culture
