The Miami Dolphins traded a 2025 third-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles to draft Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Raheem Mostert is under contract for two seasons and De'Van Achane looks to build on an unbelievable rookie season — why was it the right time for the Dolphins to add at the position?

The 2024 NFL Draft is in the books and it's hard to ignore what the Miami Dolphins did at edge rusher with the additions of Chop Robinson and Mohamed Kamara. They improved the offensive line by adding Patrick Paul, aka the Hulk, to the left tackle rotation. Miami also cashed in next year's third-round draft pick in a trade with the Eagles to draft running back Jaylen Wright. The Dolphins developed long-term plans at pass rusher and running back, but was it worth ignoring some clear roster needs?

The pick is in and the Miami Dolphins decided to use their first-round draft selection on Penn. State edge rusher Chop Robinson. Miami entered the 2024 league year needing depth on the edge with Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips working back from season-ending injuries. Robinson projects to have an instant impact in South Florida after 15 tackles, and 7.5 tackles for a loss with 4.0 sacks last season.

The Miami Dolphins draft too late in the first round to cash in on the quarterback-needy teams hoping to trade up for a signal caller. At the same time, the Dolphins draft too early to trade back and let blue-chip prospects fall off the board. We dig into the seven players that should have general manager Chris Grier running to the podium if still available at No. 21. C Jackson Powers-Johnson, Oregon ED Chop Robinson, Penn, St OT J.C.

Plenty will happen before the Miami Dolphins are on the clock at pick No. 21 and it's general manager Chris Grier's job to prepare for possible twists and turns. This podcast navigates through nights one and two of the NFL Draft, beginning with 11 players who shouldn't be available when Miami is on the board. We also explore trade-up options, trade-down options, and most importantly — who will still be available at picks No. 21 & No. 55.

Two selections in the top 150 picks don't sound too bad until you explore a mock draft simulator. The Dolphins could quickly fall into a trap depending on how the draft board falls between picks No. 21 and 55 — we explore how Miami could "safely" fill needs with limited assets.

The NFL Draft is less than a week away — how will the Miami Dolphins improve the roster with just two selections inside the top 150 picks? We debate the best options for the Dolphins and how we'd improve the franchise with six draft picks next weekend. We used the PFF mock draft simulator for this project and were each allowed one trade. Let us know — who do you think won the mock draft war?

The Miami Dolphins still need help in the trenches and Jackson Powers-Johnson has the potential to step in and start on day one. Some mock drafts projected the Dolphins selecting JPJ, especially after a strong showing at the Senior Bowl — but does that mean he's a first-round lock?

The Miami Dolphins added Aaron Brewer and re-signed Isaiah Wynn, but the team could use reinforcements in the trenches after losing Robert Hunt in free agency. We run through each of the draft's top offensive linemen — specifically those still on the board when Miami picks at No. 21. That said, the Dolphins have just two picks in the top 150, is that enough to improve the offense line? Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).

The Miami Dolphins have signed six defensive tackles since free agency began and it's still hard to imagine that they've filled the void left by Christian Wilkins signing a monster contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 2024 NFL Draft is loaded with some interesting options, and some may just be available when the Dolphins are on the clock at pick No. 21. We discuss early-round favorites and day-three sleepers that Miami could pursue to solidify the interior defensive line.

The Miami Dolphins made it clear that they didn't want Tua Ragovailoa's contract negotiations to linger into the 2024 season. While all signs indicate a deal getting done — nothing is official until the ink dries. We explore Tagovailoa's upcoming contract extension and what's next.

The Miami Dolphins spent the last four seasons trying to leverage a top-tier cornerback duo featuring Xavien Howard and either Byron Jones or Jalen Ramsey. Injuries derailed the unit on more than one occasion, and the team decided it was best to move on from Howard, signing Kendall Fuller to a two-year deal. That said, it's hard to ignore how many injuries Miami's secondary suffered last year, highlighting the team's lack of depth at the position. We discuss of the Dolphins could survive a 17-game season with how the unit is currently built.

From top-tier talents like Quinyon Mitchell and Terrion Arnold to late-round sleepers, we prepare for the 2024 NFL Draft with a deep dive into the cornerback class. With mock draft season in full swing, is there any scenario where Miami would be best suited to snatch a cornerback with its first first-round pick in three years? We explore what Miami needs at cornerback, and why it may be best to continue investing in the position, considering the lack of depth at the position. On top of that, it's no secret that first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver can run a defensive-back-heavy scheme.

This month's draft marks the first time in the Mike McDaniel era that the Miami Dolphins will have a first-round pick on draft night, but how will they use it?

NFL analyst Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) joins the guys to discuss all things #BaldyBreakdowns and Miami Dolphins. The show starts on the defensive side of the ball and how coordinator Anthony Weaver can keep the unit above water until Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb return to full strength. Sticking in the trenches, should the Dolphins continue building in the trenches or pursue a big-name wide receiver No. 3 like some have suggested? The guys wrap the show by talking about the Stefon Diggs trade that shook up the AFC East, before wrapping the show with a few thoughts on the offensive line.

Raheem Mostert set the standard at running back for the Miami Dolphins and was awarded with a contract extension for his efforts. The 2023 league-leader in rushing touchdowns will stick in Miami through the 2025 season. Formerly known as an “injury-prone” running back due to playing double-digit games just twice in five years — he’s missed just three regular-season games since returning to Miami. Mike McDaniel has re-established a threatening rushing attack with Mostert responsible for leading the charge. From dynasty to re-draft, we explore what to expect from Mostert in 2024 and beyond. Also -- somehow -- news dropped right before we record and discuss Miami's decision to re-sign tackle Kendall Lamm to a one-year deal.

Edge rusher is arguably the strongest position on the Miami Dolphins depth chart. Still, the equation changes when considering the season-ending injuries Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips suffered late in the 2023 NFL season. The Dolphins added Shaq Barrett on a one-year deal, but is it enough to keep the ship from sinking before Chubb and Phillips can return? Three edge players are considered as top 20 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft — Dallas Turner, Jared Verse, and Laiatu Latu. Would it be wise for general manager Chris Grier to keep investing in the unit if one of these players fell? We discuss!

The NFL has announced that it's changing the kickoff rules ahead of the 2024 season in hopes of creating more opportunities to create excitement with more frequent kick returns. Owners passed the revamped format in a 29-3 vote.

The Miami Dolphins have to be wise with its final $10 million in salary cap space because there are clear holes on the roster. Odell Beckham Jr. met with the Dolphins late last week, but a deal is yet to be announced. Beckham would supercharge Miami’s receiving group, but it’s important to remember that the Dolphins are limited due to salary cap space and few draft picks.

Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier didn't have an easy job this offseason. The franchise entered the overseason nearly $50 million over the salary cap and more than half the roster was set to reach free agency. That said, Grier has navigated the storm with restructures and a roster purge, but there is still work that must be done. The Dolphins have just $10 million in salary cap space until June but the roster could still use work ahead of April's draft. Miami is pinching pennies, but here are some players that could make an impact at a discounted price.

Odell Beckham Jr. visited the Miami Dolphins on Thursday — what could this mean for the rest of the receivers? Miami's offense struggled down the stretch and injuries to both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle played a role. The addition of OBJ would be another spark to the high-powered unit, but is it the best way to maximize the team's late-season potential?

Wide receiver is one of the deeper draft classes of 2024 — could Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier find himself adding to a core that already features Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill? We run through some of college's top prospects and highlight a handful of players that could haunt the AFC East for years to come. Despite having just two picks in the top four rounds, is it possible that Miami chooses a wide receiver with a top-two pick? Of course, adding Odell Beckham Jr. to the mix could change Miami's draft plans, too. Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).

Braxton Berrios is set to return as Miami's kick and punt returner after agreeing to a one-year deal to re-sign with the franchise. With both Cedrick Wilson Jr. and River Cracraft free agents, could Berrios have an expanded role on offense after just 27 receptions and one receiving touchdown last season?

Roughly ten former Miami Dolphins have signed with new a franchise since free agency began last week. On top of that, another dozen-plus players are free agents plotting their next move. General manager Chris Grier's aggressive approach to the early days of free agency has Miami nearly primed to attack the draft with a "best player available" mindset. The Dolphins added more than ten players since the new year began and the offensive line remains a glaring weakness — but is anyone really surprised? We also discuss Miami's decision to re-sign Braxton Berrios and what's next for the team's depth at wide receive No. 3.

The sky fell earlier this week when Christian Wilkins, Robert Hunt, Andrew Van Ginkel, and other franchise cornerstones signed with new franchises in the first wave of free agency. That said, general manager Chris Grier went to work rebuilding the roster, especially on the defensive side of the football. Miami lost more than half the roster's defensive starters, but the team's approach expects to be different under first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Could defensive back be an option in the draft considering the additions of Jordan Poyer and Kendall Fuller? There's plenty to say about the defense, but that can't be said about Miami's offense.

The Dolphins have signed two defensive tackles, two linebackers, a safety, a running back, and a center — but there is still work to be done! Despite just $1 million in available cap space as of Wednesday night, we shake the crystal ball to identify which positions the Dolphins must improve in the second wave of free agency.

Wednesday marked the beginning of the 2024 NFL League year and the Miami Dolphins are moving forward without Christian Wilkins, Robert Hunt, Andrew Van Ginkel, and a handful of other players who helped the franchise achieve recent regular-season success. That said, it was time for general manager Chris Grier to make some changes, and it started with rebuilding the linebacker group with Jordyn Brooks (Seattle Seahawks) and Anthony Walker (formerly of the Cleveland Browns). The show starts on the offensive side of the ball as we look at the positives and negatives that have Dolphins' Twitter split on Aaron Brooks. That said, most of Miami's work has come on the defensive side of the football with the additions of a pair of linebackers, defensive tackles, and an All-Pro safety. What could be next on the team's to-do list? Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94), with Marek Brave (@MBrave13) joining as a guest host.

The legal tampering period began on Monday with the Las Vegas Raiders agreeing to a deal that gives Christian Wilkins top-ten non-quarterback money over five years — nobody saw that coming! The same can be said about Robert Hunt, who inked a five-year deal worth $100 million to join the Carolina Panthers. While the Dolphins were quiet for most of the day, Brandon Jones signed a three-year deal to join the Denver Broncos and Andrew Van Ginkel will join the Minnesota Vikings on a two-year contract.

Raheem Mostert followed Mike McDaniel to Miami and the decision paid off in a major way. Mostert led the league with 18 rushing touchdowns while rookie third-round pick De'Von Achane averaged more than seven yards per carry on the ground. That said, Miami's rushing attack disappeared with its Super Bowl aspirations late in the season. Considering that Jeff Wilson Jr., Chris Brooks, and potentially Salvon Ahmed are all in the mix, we explain why it doesn't make sense for Miami to swing big for King Henry. While "thunder and lightning" seems to make sense for a running back duo, the Dolphins have struggled with it in recent years.

The Miami Dolphins must clear $20 million off the salary cap before the new league year begins on Wednesday. That being said, it's hard to imagine that general manager Chris Grier not clearing up enough space to add a handful of players early in free agency. Miaimi's offense fell apart near the end of the season and the defense will transform to meet first-year coordinator Anthony Weaver's vision. The Dolphins have to be smart when it comes to improving the roster — we run through three big questions that Dolphins fans must ask themselves. Miami's continued to string together winning seasons but changes are needed to earn the franchise's first playoff game in roughly 20 years. Is Derrick Henry the missing piece on offense? Are former Baltimore Ravens players expected to flock to Miami? Can the Dolphins overcome the loss of Robert Hunt?

Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill appeared on Pivot Podcast earlier this week to discuss lessons learned throughout his year, his transition to Miami, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, and even shines the spotlight on some late-season drama. Hill noted some situations inside the locker room where players might've shut down instead of working and communicating through their issues. "We need to come back and then talk about it," Hill said on the podcast, "not hold grudges against each other."

The Miami Dolphins began the offseason more than $50 million over the salary cap. Still, that number has shrunk to roughly $19 million after the team released linebacker Jerome Baker, who spent six years with the franchise. While the move saves Miami about $10 million against the salary cap, it also creates a major hole at inside linebacker. Despite the team's salary cap issues, it didn't stop them from signing defensive tackle Isaiah Mack to a contract less than a week away from the new league year. General manager Chris Grier may not be done either, as reports surfaced that former Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith signed with the team on Thursday — we recap all the latest news and notes ahead of free agency.

Nine players were placed on the franchise tag by Tuesday's 4 p.m. deadline, but Christian Wilkins was not one of them. Plans have quickly changed less than a week after ESPN reported that Miami would not let Wilkins walk out the door. Instead, the five-year pro will test free agency when the league year begins on Wednesday. That said, insiders have reported that the Dolphins are leaving the door open for a potential return, what would be needed to make that happen?

Mike McDaniel is gearing up for his third NFL Draft as coach of the Miami Dolphins, on Wednesday he met with the media at the combine. Among the topics, reporters asked McDaniel where things stand on a contract extension with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, mentioning that they hope he'll stick in Miami for a long time. From there, he also shared thoughts on his coaching staff, specifically the decisions to move on from defensive coordinator Vic Fangio while keeping special teams coordinator Danny Crossman. We share the highlights and project what's next for the Dolphins with the free agency and the draft quickly approaching.

The rookie combine begins this weekend while the NFL Draft is less than two months away. Considering Miami has only six draft picks, would it make sense to select a tight end or running back in the first or second round? From Jonathan Brooks to Bucky Irving and Brock Bowers to Brevyn-Spann-Ford, this draft guide is created with an aqua-and-orange focus. The three-day combine is also an opportunity to chat with coaches and Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is never afraid when in front of a microphone. So, share his thoughts on Tua Tagovailoa's potential contract extension, the decision to move on from Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator, and why Danny Crossman will be back as special teams coach.

Two-time All-Pro cornerback Xavien Howard was on the books for $25 million next season, and it was clear that the Miami Dolphins would need to change something. It was reported late last week that the Dolphins are releasing Howard and designating him as a post-June 1st roster cut. We celebrate Howard's eight seasons in Miami before exploring what's next. The Dolphins will free up $18 million in cap space over the summer — what is the best way for general manager Chris Grier to spend this money? This clip originally aired on the podcast: Salary Cap Solutions: Miami Plans to Move On From Xavien Howard and Emmanuel Ogbah Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94), with Marek Brave (@MBrave13) joining as a guest host.

The NFL announced an "unprecedented" salary cap increase for the 2024 season late last week. While most salary cap experts expected the cap to sit around $240, it was announced to be $255.4 million for next season. The Dolphins began the day $50 million over the cap. They later announced that Emmanuel Ogbah would be cut, saving the team roughly $10 million in cap space — dropping that number to about $30 million. News also broke late last week that the Dolphins are planning to move on from Xavien Howard as a post-June 1 roster cut, saving the team roughly $18.5 million against the cap. Howard, a 2016 second-round draft pick, was a two-time All-Pro in South Florida and led the league in interceptions — twice! We travel down memory lane to explore Howard's time with the Dolphins.

De'Von Achane was targetted 3.4 times per game in 2023, while the Dolphins ranked top five in running back targets. Considering the volume of targets Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle receive, why should a pass-catching option be needed for a team currently $50 million over the salary cap? The Dolphins struggled to involve Cedric Wilson and Braxton Berrios. So, instead of testing the waters with another receiver, coach Mike McDaniel should lean into the team's strength at running back. Miami targetted tight ends a league-low 52 times despite being one of the NFL's best offenses — we explain why it may be best to spend money elsewhere.

For late February, this week was loaded with news and notes about the future of the Miami Dolphins. Jake and Josh empty the notebook on all the information you might have missed — starting with former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum's take that the Dolphins should trade Jaylen Waddle to the Kansas City Chiefs... what? From there, we hit on a report that Miami won't let Christian Wilkins leave in free agency despite the franchise being $50 million over the salary cap — can general manager Chris Grier find a way to keep home-developed talent in South Florida? Daniel Jeremiah released his second mock draft — could edge rusher be on Miami's round-one radar? We wrap the week by discussing why, considering limited draft capital and salary cap space, De'Von Achane could be Miami's No. 3 option on offense in 2024.

Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead sounded like he was leaning toward retirement following the team's playoff loss to Kansas City, but the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reported that the 32-year-old Pro Bowler expects to play next season. Armstead signed a five-year contract before the 2022 season and has a cap hit of $20 million in 2024. While he appeared on the injury report for 13 of 17 games last season, he remains one of the league's best tackles when healthy. Considering the pros and cons of having Armstead on the roster — we predict whether he'll be suited up in aqua and orange for Week 1.

The Miami Dolphins had all the pieces to feature one of the league's top defenses last season but fell short of expectations. Due to injury and salary cap issues, first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver will have to do more with much less in 2024. The Dolphins might not have a top grade in Madden, but Weaver's defense should lean on its stars, creating opportunities for others on the roster. Miami won't be fully equipped next season, but what can be ignored without entirely derailing the defense? This clip originally aired on the podcast: What Can We Expect From The Miami Dolphins Defense with Anthony Weaver Calling the Shots?  Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94), with Marek Brave (@MBrave13) joining as a guest host.

The Miami Dolphins entered the 2023 season with plenty of top-end talent with Vic Fangio running the show as defensive coordinator. Miami's defense was one of the best at pressuring the quarterback but was unable to keep up with the league's top offenses. Fangio is now with the Eagles and the Dolphins introduced Anthony Weaver as first-year defensive coordinator. Miami has salary cap issues and it seems like the roster won't be as talented in 2024, but we explain how the defense must go in a new direction with injuries up front. Christian Wilkins is expected to become a free agent, Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips suffered season-ending injuries late in the year. Can Miami's defense be one of the league's best units with Jevon Holland and Jalen Ramsey leading the charge?

$55 MILLION!? Yes, you're reading that right. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported that the Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa are expected to begin negotiating a contract extension — and that it is likely to be expensive. Garafolo suggests that Tagovailoa may campaign for a contract similar to Joe Burrow's after his strong 2023 season. While Miami's season fell apart late in the season, we explain why a contract extension makes sense for both sides.

This marks the first weekend without football, which means it's time to dig deeper into the 2024 NFL Draft Class. Today's show is dedicated to the quarterbacks, and we'd be wrong to ignore the recent report mentioning Tua Tagovailoa's next contract could be worth at least $55 million annually. We start the show by looking at Miami's quarterback room, and how things could change if Tagovailoa gets his long-term extension. From there, we break the 2024 draft class into groups, starting with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye at the top — before highlighting a few quarterbacks the Dolphins could chase later in the draft.

The Miami Dolphins hired Anthony Weaver last week, and it looks like the first-year defensive coordinator is close to finalizing his coaching staff. On top of that, Sam Madison, Renaldo Hill, and a handful of other coaches won't be returning for the 2023 season. Miami added Lions defensive backs coach Brian Duker as pass game coordinator. Former Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry was named the run game coordinator earlier in the week. It's clear that Weaver is building his preferred coaching staff, but how different could the defense look in September?

The Miami Dolphins must improve the roster this offseason while also clearing out $50 million in salary cap space — talk about a tough task. General manager Chris Grier has tough decisions, and we decided to give him a hand. We look to the trenches, where Robert Hunt, Christian Wilkins, and Connor Williams are all set to be free agents next month. Considering Miami's limited resources, we decide the best path by identifying if each player should be re-signed, franchise-tagged, or allowed to walk in free agency. Additionally, the Dolphins continue to fill out the defensive coaching staff under first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. We start the show by exploring recent additions to the coaching staff while highlighting others who won't return next season.

The Dolphins have to be smart this offseason when trying to improve the roster. The team has limited draft picks and little cap space to work with — maybe it's not the best time to draft another wide receiver in the first round... or is it? While you can't ignore the talent that drops down the board, we discuss if there are any situations where Miami must put its foot down and choose need over best player available.

The NFL Draft takes place from April 25 to April 27 and the Miami Dolphins first pick at No. 21 overall — let's talk options! The Dolphins don't have a third-round pick and currently sit $51 million over the salary cap, leaving little room for error for Chris Grier and the team's front office. After years of swinging for the fences, is Miami's best bet to identify the 'safest' prospect still on the board?

The Miami Dolphins are projected to be $45 million over the salary cap and extending quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's contract is a quick way to clear some space. Tagovailoa mentioned at the Pro Bowl Games that he expects to iron out a new deal with the Dolphins. Now that Miami has announced Anthony Weaver as defensive coordinator, how far down the list is Tagovailoa's extension? This clip originally aired on the podcast: Everything You Need To Know About Dolphins' Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver + Updates From The Pro Bowl Games Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94), with Marek Brave (@MBrave13) joining as a guest host.

The Miami Dolphins announced the hiring of Baltimore Ravens associate head coach and defensive line coach Anthony Weaver as the franchise's next defensive coordinator. We kickstart the week by decoding why the Dolphins chose him after interviewing more than seven different coaches in recent weeks. Weaver earned his first professional coaching job in 2012 after a seven-year playing career with the Ravens and Houston Texans — could that blend of experience be the difference as Miami hires its third defensive coordinator in three years? Other topics in today's show: Safeties coach Joe Kasper's decision to return to the Philadelphia Eagles. Is Miami sticking with Danny Crossman as special teams coordinator?

The draft is more than two months away, but the Reese's Senior Bowl is our first post-season look at some of the 2024 NFL Draft Class. Early on, it seems like Jackson Powers-Johnson is the player Dolphins fans identified as the go-to target with pick No. 21 in the draft. Powers-Johnson is a 6' 3" junior from Oregon who started 13 games at center in 2024 after playing 350 snaps at right guard in 2022. We run through our reasoning as to why we feel he could be the right choice at pick 21 and mention a few other players the Dolphins have chatted with at the Senior Bowl.

We thought that the Miami Dolphins and Vic Fangio "mutually parted ways" but recent reports paint a more complicated story. We get you up to speed on all the drama — players celebrating Fangio's exit, Ron Jaworski firing back on Tuesday by saying there were "players on that defense that didn't want to work" — and much more. Interviews continue as Miami aims to identify the next defensive coordinator, we discuss some of the names and wonder if a Shula may be running the defense in 2024.

Super Bowl 58 is set and will feature the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers — we start the show with some quick thoughts from Championship Sunday before turning our attention to Miami's search for a new defensive coordinator. The Dolphins were blocked from interviewing Carolina Panthers DC Ejiro Evero, but plan to meet with former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley and Buffalo Bills linebacker coach Bobby Babrich — here's everything you need to know. Marek Brave wraps the show with an EPIC interview with Miami Dolphins legend Ricky Williams. The 2002 First-team All-Pro talks about Raheem Mostert's record-breaking season, De'Von Achane's success as a rookie running back, and also reflects on his journey as a professional athlete. Williams shares his experience as a pro in the NFL leveraging the benefits of marijuana and introduces his own cannabis company -- Highsman.

The Miami Dolphins paid Jalen Ramsey to be a featured piece on defense, but he was mostly used as a boundary cornerback in Vic Fangio's system. Ramsey and fellow cornerback Xavien Howard combined for just four interceptions last year — all against the Raiders and the Patriots. Brandon Staley is the exact opposite of what fans want — his defenses allowed roughly 25 points per game while he coached the Chargers. That being said, could Staley be the out-of-the-box option to help Miami maximize its limited resources on defense... we discuss!

On Wednesday, the Miami Dolphins stole the show ahead of the AFC Championship game by parting ways with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Both sides agreed to go in different directions after the franchise allowed 23 points per game in 2023. Miami enters the offseason roughly $45 million over the salary cap, and virtually half the roster is set to reach free agency — making a switch at defensive coordinator is less than ideal one year after Fangio signed on to Mike McDaniel’s coaching staff. We run through a handful of options for the Dolphins to consider as the next defensive coordinator. Either way, this isn't the best way to begin the third year with McDaniel calling the shots.

The Miami Dolphins enter the offseason roughly $45 million over the salary cap — could the front office choose to move on from Xavien Howard after eight seasons with the franchise? Howard, 30, played the fewest games since 2019 and had just one interception for the second straight season. With a salary cap number floating around $26 million, how realistic is it that Miami can rely on Howard while he takes up more than 10 percent of the salary cap? The All-Pro cornerback didn't seem interested when asked to take a pay cut — and who could blame him!? That being said, it also indicates that his time in South Florida could be ending.

Do you know anyone who could spot the Miami Dolphins roughly $50 million? Only three teams — the Saints, Chargers, and Bills — enter the offseason with less salary cap space than the Dolphins, according to Spotrac. How can Miami improve this offseason and not get left behind in the AFC playoff race after back-to-back trips to the postseason with Mike McDaniel calling the shots as head coach? We start the show by hyping up the Divisional Round winners and see what the Dolphins could learn from the four teams still fighting for the Super Bowl. From there, we begin digesting Miami's wacky cap situation and identify a few players the team could look to move on from this offseason.

It’s always so hard to believe how fast the season flies by.  We preview all four games this weekend with a little twist — stealing one player from each game to help improve the Dolphins.

It was a surprise to all of us when Tua Tagovailoa noted communication issues following last weekend's loss in Kansas City. After two years if these issues, is it time for Mike McDaniel to go back to the drawing board and simplify the offense for late-season games? Keep in mind, communication issues weren't Miami's only problem — considering Buffalo shut them out in the second half of Week 18. That being said, McDaniel is paid to put his players in the best situation to succeed... are we sure that happened in 2023?

We've reached the first Sunday without Miami Dolphins football — it's time to rebuild the franchise! Can the Dolphins free up enough salary cap space to avoid another late-season collapse? Tough decisions loom for General Manager Chris Grier with more than 35 players expected to hit free agency in March.

The Miami Dolphins ended the year with a 1-3 record and averaged 15.5 points per game over the season's final four games. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa led the league in passing yards and had the team primed for a home playoff game, but he was also at the center of Miami's late-season collapse. Miami was held scoreless in the second half of Week 18's loss to the Buffalo Bills before scoring just seven points against the Kansas City Chiefs — something needs to change on offense. From trends and statistics to salary cap ramifications, we project what Miami's quarterback room could look like to begin the 2024 season.

The Miami Dolphins held a three-game lead in the AFC East with five games left in the regular season. The Dolphins could've — and probably should've — hosted a playoff game at Hard Rock Stadium. Instead, Miami ended the season with just seven points in a loss against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium — the final of a three-game losing streak to close the year. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was nowhere to be found when he was needed the most — Miami's offense could only score seven points with the season on the line after the Buffalo Bills held them scoreless in the second half of Week 18's loss. It's a tough time to be a fan of the Dolphins, but that's nothing new for anyone who's supported the team in aqua and orange.

The Miami Dolphins are in the playoffs once again, and this time, they have their eyes set on the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs! Can the Dolphins overcome a plethora of injuries -- and the frigid Kansas City weather -- to dethrone Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs? Is Tua Tagovailoa H1M, and capable of winning the big games? How much money will Stephen Ross have to pay their star quarterback? What should we expect from Miami's offense in weather that only The Starks of Winterfell are accustomed to? We then break down our keys to the game and what the Dolphins must do differently this time around to beat the Chiefs. Can they commit to the run game for a full four quarters? How should they get star wide receiver Tyreek Hill involved against this former team? Will they have Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert? Lastly, we discuss Bill Belichick's departure and give our predictions for Super Wild Card Weekend! #FinsUp Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).

The Miami Dolphins offense spun out of control in the second half of last week's 21-14 loss against the Buffalo Bills to close the regular season after being one of the league's top units for most of the season. Miami hasn't scored more than 22 points in each of the last three weeks, and people are wondering — is the offense broken? Or does coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa have enough answers for one final stand?

Can the Miami Dolphins bounce back after dropping back-to-back games to end the regular season — absolutely! Will they? That's yet to be seen... Miami is headed back to the playoffs and will have quarterback Tua Tagovailoa behind center after Skylar Thompson got the nod against the Buffalo Bills last season due to injuries. Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert are also trending in the right direction just days until the game — can Miami's speed overcome record-low temperatures for Saturday's game in Kansas City? These teams met in Germany on Nov. 5, and the Chiefs came away with a 21-14 win behind two touchdown passes by Patrick Mahomes and a 60-yard fumble recovery near the end of the first half. They say it's tough to beat the same team twice in one year — we highlight how Miami could throw punches at the defending Super Bowl Champions.

Everything was good about a month ago. The Miami Dolphins held first place in the AFC East and were looking forward to hosting a playoff game — how quickly we see things change. The Dolphins are crawling into the playoffs losing back-to-back games and injuries at virtually every position. Miami isn't viewed as a threat entering the playoffs — what else is there to lose? We walk through what we feel Miami's mentality should be entering Saturday's game against Kansas City. The Chiefs already beat the Dophins once this season — can Miami land a punch against the defending Super Bowl Champions on their home turf?

Ending the year with the season's only two-game losing streak dampened a strong season for the Miami Dolphins under second-year coach Mike McDaniel. The offense ranked second in points per game, while the defense vastly improved under first-year defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. That said, the list of injuries that's ballooned over the last few months, mixed with the team's recent struggles, has even the most positive Dolphins fans concerned that Saturday night will be Miami's final game of the 2023 season. We start the show with news of Jerome Baker, Andrew Van Ginkel, and Cameron Goode being placed on injured reserve before switching focus to the wave of pass rushers that were signed ahead of Super Wild Card Weekend. Miami is down, but running the football could be the difference in a harsh winter environment. Marek gives his game prediction to wrap the show, but not before we ask a simple question — who's under more pressure to win on Saturday night?

The Miami Dolphins saw the season spin out of control with a record of 2-3 despite having a three-game lead in the AFC East with the season winding down. The Bills were struggling, and Miami had already swept the New York Jets and New England Patriots — this was the chance! Instead, coach Mike McDaniel and the offense were stuck searching for answers after being held scoreless in the second half of the season's most important game. Miami's offense is known as a high-flying passing attack — but the lows are becoming nearly as common. I asked this question on X (@JMendel394) on Monday afternoon — we run through some thoughts from the fanbase as we try to digest Sunday's results.

The Buffalo Bills earned their fourth-straight AFC East title after holding the Miami Dolphins scoreless in the second half of Sunday's Week 18 primetime battle. Miami took an early lead on the shoulders of De'Von Achane and Tyreek Hill — the second half was an entirely different story. Miami began the second half with four straight punts, opening the door for Buffalo to come back and steal the win. The Dolphins were in the driver's seat for most of the season — if this wasn't their chance to earn a divisional crown — what else needs to be done? Sunday sucked but the season isn't over and the story isn't told — we're on to Kansas City. Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).

The Buffalo Bills have won four straight games and are now favored to defeat the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday Night Football. Injuries are building for the Dolphins, and they're coming off a 56-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens — is this a concerning sign of things to come? Vegas and experts throughout the National Football League have lost faith in the 2023 Miami Dolphins — we explain how it's still too early to start cleaning out the lockers.

Throw out the last three months of football — the fate of the Miami Dolphins comes down to Week 18 and Sunday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen steamrolled over Miami in a 48-20 win earlier this season and the Dolphins just gave up 56 points to the Baltimore Ravens. We get it — it doesn't look great — but hear us out! We start the show with key defensive matchups for Miami, which will try to slow Allen without Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb — can Andrew Van Ginkel and Emmanuel Ogbah spark the pass rush? Offensively, how can the Dolphins turn the corner offensively with both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle dealing with injuries? The show ends with some game predictions — how do you feel about Miami's chance at winning the AFC East? Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).

Nothing went right for the Miami Dolphins in Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but we start the podcast with the news that edge rusher Bradley Chubb will miss the year with a torn ACL, suffered in the game's final three minutes. In recent weeks, The Dolphins have lost Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, and Connor Williams — three starters in the trenches. While Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert didn't play, Sunday also marked Tyreek Hill's worst game of the season — we're not mad... just disappointed. Will playoff-caliber football slow down for coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa before time runs out on the 2023 season? We wrap the show by discussing the defense, which seemed to be headed in the right direction until Baltimore's 50-burger. The Dolphins lost Chubb and Xavien Howard, who left four plays into the game due to a foot injury. Has Miami reached the point where there are too many injuries to overcome?

Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens marked the second time a team had scored 48 or more points against the Miami Dolphins' defense this season. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw just 23 pass attempts and five were touchdowns — is it too late to fix Vic Fangio's defense? The Dolphins are now down their top two pass rushers and cornerback Xavien Howard isn't expected to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills — can Miami avoid the writing on the wall and still clinch the AFC East?

All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught just six of 12 targets that came his way in last Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Miami's top receiver averaged 30 fewer yards in losses this season and logged crucial drops against the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens. We're not mad... just disappointed. Miami's offense struggled without Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert in the lineup, and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions. The Dolphins looked uncomfortable for 60 minutes on Sunday — how can coach Mike McDaniel adjust?

Baltimore Ravens running back Melvin Gordan’s seven-yard touchdown with four minutes left should’ve marked the end of Sunday’s blowout loss for the Miami Dolphins. Instead, backup quarterback Mike White fumbled the football on the first play of the following possession, forcing Vic Fangio’s unit back onto the field — hoping to avoid a 50-burger in Baltimore. Gordan was tackled on a four-yard loss on the drive’s second play, and Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb tore his ACL on the play, another injury the Dolphins must now overcome in order to make noise in the playoffs.

The Miami Dolphins defeated the Dallas Cowboys last weekend and now travel to Baltimore for a game against the AFC-leading Ravens. Baltimore toppled the San Francisco 49ers with the help of five turnovers last week. How can Miami, despite running a similar system, escape the same fate? Miami's offensive line allows an average of 1.8 sacks per game but will be put to the test against a Ravens' defense that leads the league in Sacks. Rob Hunt and Austin Jackson may return to the unit on Sunday, but Miami's challenges begin on the second level with Patrick Queen and Roquan Smith patrolling the center of the field. Flipping the script, should the Dolphins try to limit Baltimore's offense by shadowing Zay Flowers with Jalen Ramsey while letting Christian Wilkins and Zach Sieler win the game inside?

This week's Game of the Year features the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens battling for the top spot in the AFC playoff race with just two games left in the regular season. Sunday's matchup places quarterback Tua Tagovailoa under the microscope against a defense that dominated a San Francisco 49ers team running a similar offense. This isn't a good matchup for the Dolphins, but we discuss how they can escape Baltimore with a win against one of the league's top teams.

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers was targetted 13 times last week against the San Francisco 49ers — no other receiver was targetted more than four times. After shadowing Garrett Wilson a few weeks back, should Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio let Jalen Ramsey follow Baltimore's top receiver? We discuss how Sunday's game could be a true "do your job" performance for Miami's defense because Lamar Jackson is one of the league's best quarterbacks when taking advantage of over-aggressive defenses.

The Miami Dolphins find themselves in a unique position with Sunday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Not only do these teams have the best records in the AFC, but Baltimore is coming off a 33-19 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The Dolphins and 49ers run similar offenses, can coach Mike McDaniel learn from San Francisco's miscues? Baltimore forced five turnovers last week, should Miami "play it safe" on offense to avoid shortening the field for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense?

The Miami Dolphins escaped the Dallas Cowboys with a 22-20 victory and have now won five of the last six games with two weeks until the playoffs begin. Kicker Jason Sanders stole the show by converting five field goal attempts, including three from more than 50 yards. We start the show by giving Sanders his "$" back as he continues a strong 2023 campaign. From there we transition to an up-and-down performance from the Dolphins on offense. While the unit struggled in the red zone, it's hard to overlook the ability to march down the field and set up a game-winning field goal. Flipping the script, Miami's defense got the job done by pressuring Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott on 42 percent of dropbacks — has Vic Fangio's unit done enough to prove it's one of the league's top units?

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb dominated the day's first two drives on Sunday but the Miami Dolphins defense eventually settled in. Lamb broke free for a long touchdown on the game's second drive but the Cowboys wouldn't find the end zone again until their final possession of the game. Bradley Chubb was disruptive for four quarters, he and Andrew Van Ginkel combined for three sacks in the Week 16 victory. Miami allowed more than 21 points just twice since Week 5 — how close are they to being one of the league's top defenses? This clip originally aired on the podcast: Miami Dolphins Clinch Playoff Birth With Gutsy Win Over The Dallas Cowboys Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94) with Marek Brave (@MBrave13) joining as a guest host.

Miami's offense did enough to win on Sunday but struggled in the red zone, converting a touchdown on just one of four trips down the field. The Dolphins have leaned on kicker Jason Sanders more of late, but it's important to keep in mind that Miami has continued to find the end zone — in most games. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa found Raheem Mostert for a touchdown, but the Dolphins won the game by running the football. Jeff Wilson Jr. stamped this game with an early third-down reception and did most of the heavy lifting during the game-sealing drive.

Former first-team All-Pro kicker Jason Sanders knocked through his fifth field goal as time expired to seal a 22-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Miami's kicker stole the show with a perfect performance kicking the football, which included a career-best 57-yard field goal. On top of that, he was perfect on three attempts beyond 50 yards and made five field goals in a game for the first time since his 2020 All-Pro season. Touchdowns are always preferred, but could this game-winning performance help build confidence ahead of the playoffs?

The Miami Dolphins are within reach of the top seed in the AFC playoff picture and control their destiny with just three games left in the regular season — we start by wondering if this marks the franchise's most important stretch in the last 20 years. Week 16 features two 10-4 teams looking to keep pace in the playoff picture. The Dolphins and Cowboys — who has an edge? Tyreek Hill returns to the lineup to face a Dallas defense that allowed James Cook to run for 7.2 yards per carry last week in Buffalo. The Dolphins have one of the league's top rushing attacks and the league's top receiver is returning to the lineup — how will coach Mike McDaniel plan to attack the Cowboys' defense? Flipping the script, Dallas is dealing with injuries to Zack Martin and Tyron Smith — will defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and Miami's pass rush take advantage?

The Miami Dolphins shut out the New York Jets last week but face a different test this Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, despite struggling last week in Buffalo, feature one of the league's top offenses. Cornerback Xavien Howard is expected to return to the lineup after missing last week due to injury. How will decide defensive coordinator Vic Fangio limit Dallas' big plays? Will it involve shadowing an opponent's top receiver for a second straight week?

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert set the franchise record with 20 touchdowns by scoring twice in last week's blowout win over the New York Jets. The Dolphins expect to have wide receiver Tyreek Hill back in the lineup on Sunday, how will Mike McDaniel try to attack the Cowboys' defense? Will he lean on Mostert and De'Von Achane against a defense that allowed Buffalo Bills running back James Cook to run for 7.2 yards per carry last week?

The Miami Dolphins haven't won a playoff game in roughly 20 years but currently sit in first place in the AFC East with just three games left in the 2023 regular season. Miami can earn the AFC No. 1 seed with three straight wins to close the year. Considering the franchise's lack of success over the two decades, is this the team's most important stretch in 20 years? The Dolphins lock up a playoff spot by defeating Dallas. A win against Baltimore earns them the division. Topping Buffalo to end the year would be good for the No. 1 seed.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after earning three sacks on Sunday against the New York Jets. We discuss Chubb's impact since being traded from the Dolphins, and if the defense has enough to work with at pass rusher. We also discuss Mike McDaniel's ability to scheme up Jaylen Waddle's big day — even though Tyreek Hill wasn't in the lineup. Week 16 marks the first time Miami can clinch a playoff spot with a win, what other scenarios should we root for on Sunday? Episode 5 of In Season Hard Knocks was discussed and we shared the news of the Dolphins hosting Ndamukong Suh on a free-agent visit ahead of Week 16's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Miami Dolphins didn’t have the league’s top receiver for Sunday but still toppled the New York Jets 30-0. With Tyreek Hill inactive due to an ankle injury, Jaylen Waddle showcased how much weight a penguin can carry. Sunday’s performance marked the third time Waddle surpassed 100 receiving yards this season — and the second time he’s done it against the Jets. His 114 yards in Week 12’s 34-13 win was the fifth-most New York surrendered.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for a disruptive performance Sunday against the New York Jets.
