Dolphins Draft Guide: Everything You Need to Know About the 2024 Offensive Line Class

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).

Dolphins Draft Guide: Everything You Need to Know About the 2024 Defensive Tackle Class

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.

From Today's Show: Should We Be Corned About Miami's Lack of Cornerback Depth?

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-ga...

Raheem Mostert Defies The Odds and Lands Contract Extension + Kendall Lamm is Back in Miami!

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 t...

Dolphins Draft Guide: Everything You Need to Know About the 2024 Edge Rusher Class

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?

From Today's Show: Miami Refuses to Overspend for a Third Wide Receiver — Is That Smart?

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.

Wide Receivers, Safeties, and Other Players That Could Perfectly Round Out the Miami Dolphins Roster

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 he...

Offensive Line is Priority No.1 For The Dolphins — What's New?

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.

Miami Dolphins Week in Review: Jonnu Smith Signed, Jerome Baker Cut, and Other News You May Have Missed

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 ...
