From Yesterday's Show: Will Jonnu Smith Be Present for Mandatory OTAs?

Mandatory minicamp could be the first real test of how far Jonnu Smith is willing to go for a new contract. With trade talks reportedly held between Miami and Pittsburgh, could the Dolphins be more inclined to move him if the standoff continues?

Jonnu Smith’s Future in Miami + Revisiting Week 15 vs. the Texans

Tight end Jonnu Smith is looking for a raise after a strong 2024 season, but will that payday come from Miami? We break down why Smith deserves a raise and why the Dolphins might be hesitant to give it to him. Plus, Jake gave Cat arguably the worst homework assignment possible: re-watching Miami’s Week 15 loss to the Texans. We revisit that game to spotlight the team’s biggest weaknesses and ask whether the Dolphins are in better shape heading into 2025. Thoughts or questions — reach out to us a...

3 Questions About the Dolphins: D-Line Battles, O-Line Bets, and the 2023 Blueprint

The Dolphins are making changes in the trenches, but how should we feel about the process? From moving on from Christian Wilkins and later drafting another first-round defensive tackle to rebuilding the offensive line through the draft and free agency, we dig into the biggest battles heading into training camp. We open with news on joint practices and a free agent cornerback visit, and close with how Miami can get back to its 2023 standard on offense. Thoughts or questions — reach out to us at A...

Quinn Ewers or Zach Wilson?

The Dolphins signed Zach Wilson early in free agency to back up Tua Tagovailoa — but the story doesn't end there. Miami added former Texas star Quinn Ewers on Day 3 of the NFL Draft. Not your typical seventh-rounder… could Ewers leapfrog Wilson on the depth chart before Week 1?

From Today’s Show: Paying the Price to Trade Up in Round 2

The Miami Dolphins bolstered their offensive line by drafting Arizona’s Jonah Savaiinaea in the second round—but it came at a steep cost. While Miami got their guy, how should we feel about trading picks 48, 98, and 135 to move up for picks 37 and 143 overall?

Are the Dolphins Being Graded Fairly on Their 2025 Draft Class?

The Miami Dolphins addressed two major needs early, selecting a defensive tackle and then an offensive lineman in the first two rounds. However, after moving around the draft board, they ended up without picks in rounds three and four. They didn’t fill every roster hole, so how should we really feel about GM Chris Grier’s approach during the 2025 NFL Draft?

Are the Dolphins Headed Toward Disaster? + O-Line Draft Fits with Eric Smith

Pressure is building for the Dolphins, and general manager Chris Grier did little to suggest the team is on the right track during last week's press conference. From calling Tyreek Hill a captain to his broader outlook on the roster, Grier didn’t offer much confidence to fans—especially for someone who’s been in the front office for nearly a decade. Also joining the show is Eric Smith (@OLCoachSmith63), contributor for 5 Reasons Sports, to share his final thoughts on the 2025 offensive line draf...

Defensive Audit: Where the Dolphins Stand Entering 2025 NFL Draft

The Dolphins face a unique challenge on defense: a deep group of linebackers, but limited help elsewhere. With a Jalen Ramsey trade expected, cornerback becomes a concern—and Miami will roll out two new starting safeties next season. And that’s before we even get to arguably the league’s thinnest defensive tackle group. Are ten draft picks enough to stabilize this many roster flaws?

From Today's Show: Could the Dolphins Realistically Target a Wide Receiver Early in the Draft?

The Dolphins are one of just three teams investing over $50 million per year in a pair of wide receivers. Jaylen Waddle’s future in Miami is locked in—but Tyreek Hill’s isn’t quite as certain. We discuss whether the Dolphins should target a wide receiver early in the draft, regardless of what’s next for Hill.

Terron Armstead announced his retirement on Saturday night. While most expected this to happen, losing a seven-time captain and five-time Pro Bowler leaves a void on the roster. With little to work with behind Patrick Paul and Austin Jackson, we discuss if Armstead's departure makes tackle a need for the Dolphins.
