NFL Free Agency is off and running with big names moving to new teams with some eye-popping contract numbers. For the Miami Dolphins, it was particularly bittersweet as the team said goodbye to several homegrown players including DT Christian Wilkins and G Robert Hunt. But, as he so often does, Chris Grier set to work bringing in replacements on smaller, more team friendly deals. New Miami Dolphins include TE Jonnu Smith, LB Jordyn Brooks, S Jordan Poyer, LB Shaquil Barrett, C Aaron Brewer, LB A...

The Miami Dolphins have fired their opening salvo this offseason by announcing last week the release of Emmanuel Ogbah and their plan to cut avien Howard with a post-June 1st designation on the first day of the new NFL league year. The moves free up some space for the Dolphins to maneuver around the new salary cap, set at just over 255 million dollars. With those decisions made, what lies ahead for the rest of the Dolphins' pending free agents? Aaron and Josh are back to discuss what the Dolphin...

As we inch closer to the official launch of the new NFL league year, there are still questions that must be answered regarding key players on the Dolphins' roster. As the team prepares to be cap compliant, there are a number of moves still to make. Two players whose future with the team is now in question are Jerome Baker and Xavien Howard. How much cap relief can the Dolphins find by moving on or restructuring their contracts? Is that even on the table? How important are these players as the Do...

Among the players the Miami Dolphins will need to make a decision on is OLB Andrew Van Ginkel. The man they call AVG has really come into his own over the past two seasons and filled in admirably when the Dolphins lose Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb. With both of those two players likely to be missing or not 100% at the start of the 2024 season, can the Dolphins afford to pay his rumored asking price to keep him around? Aaron and Josh are back to discuss what the Dolphins may do. Plus, they r...

Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Christian Wilkins made a bet on himself by refusing what was the Dolphins' last and best offer to sign him to an extension prior to the start of the 2023 season. It was a bet he absolutely won. Wilkins put in his best season to date and, alongside Zach Sieler, was the foundation of the defensive scheme implemented by Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio. Now, things have changed. Fangio and the Dolphins have "mutually agreed" to part ways and the Dolphins are left wit...

Tua Tagovailoa just had the best year of his career, leading the NFL in passing yards and ranking ear the very stop in several other statistical categories. Since his debut in 2020, there has been steady improvement in his overall play. These two statements are indisputable. However, for the fourth straight season, Tagovailoa played his worst football during the crucial stretch of games in December and January – the time when the best teams and the best players are starting to hit their stride. ...

The Miami Dolphins' 2023 season has come to an end. It was perhaps appropriate that the final chapter of this season was written in the coldest game in franchise history because the Dolphins once blistering hot offense finished off the season ice cold. Meanwhile, the Dolphins's shorthanded defense fought valiantly, but simply couldn't do enough against a Kansas City Chiefs team and an elite quarterback in Patrick Mahomes that seemed completely undeterred by the elements. It was a familiar perfor...

After 18 weeks of ups and downs, highs and lows, we have arrived at the NFL Playoffs. Previous wins and losses no longer matter. Now, it's win or go home. For the Miami Dolphins, the final month of the season was particularly rough, costing them their chance at a divisional crown and many of their key players. Of course, none of that matters now. The fact is that, as beat up as they are, the Miami Dolphins are still one of only 14 teams left standing with an opportunity to hoist the Lombardi Tro...

The Miami Dolphins found themselves in a great position thanks to early season success only to squander their opportunity to win the AFC East and potentially play multiple playoff games at home. The Bills remain the boogeyman the Dolphins just cannot defeat and the Dolphins stumble into the postseason on the back of two consecutive defeats. The narratives are getting louder about the team, the head coach, and the quarterback. Is there any hope for a rebound? aron and Josh are back to discuss it ...

We always kinda had a feeling it was going to come down to this. The Miami Dolphins host the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 18. The winner will be the AFC East Champion and the 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. The loser will likely end up as a wild card in the #6 seed but, if it's the Bills, there's a chance their season could be over. In Week 4, the Bills walloped the Dolphins 48-20, a humbling defeat the Dolphins bounced back nicely from..at least until losing 56-19 in Baltimore last we...

The Dolphins have squandered yet another opportunity to make a statement on the road in December against a legitimate opponent. If that were the only takeaway, it wouldn't be so bad. But it's much worse than that for the Miami Dolphins. Not only were they completely dismantled by one of the best teams in the NFL, but they came up small and suffered two consequential injuries that have severely dampened their hopes for the 2023 season. It was much worse than a 56-19 loss – it was a failure on all...

On the heels of their biggest victory of 2023, the Miami Dolphins head to Baltimore with an opportunity to do a number of things: they can clinch the AFC East title for the first time since 2008, ensure a top 2 finish in the AFC, and give themselves the opportunity to play for a first round bye in Week 18. A win would also be a second signature win in as many weeks for the Dolphins. Of course, it won't be easy. The Baltimore Ravens are coming off of a resounding victory on the road against the t...

The Miami Dolphins answered the bell. After a brutal loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Dolphins bounced back with a completely dominant victory over the New York Jets.

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins delivered one of their most complete performances of the season against the Washington Commanders. Buoyed by the return of De'Von Achane, the offense jumped into action immediately and never let up. The defense, playing their first full game since Jaelan Phillips was lost for the season, showed strength and steadfastness. Andrew Van Ginkel played big, coming up with a pick six, and Duke Riley filled in admirably for Jerome Baker, who suffered a first half knee injur...

That ended up being pretty dang easy. The Miami Dolphins cruised to victory, 34-13 over the moribund New York Jets on Black Friday, but lost Jaelan Phillips to a torn achilles. Terron Armstead also left the game early due to a quad injury. Other than those two injuries, it was largely a very good day at the office for the Fins.

Big performances from Bradley Chubb, Jalen Ramsey, and many more highlighted yet another strong performance from a defensive unit that it starting to find its groove.

Once again the Miami Dolphins had an opportunity to change the narrative surrounding them and demand to be taken seriously as a contender and once again they fell short. This time it was a woeful first half and series of self-inflicted wounds that ended up costing them. Bad playcalling, poor execution, and sloppy penalties were most of the cause, though credit should be given to Kansas City's defense, which disrupted the Dolphins' timing. The Dolphins would eventually play themselves back into t...
