At the NFL Scouting Combine, Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel indicated that the team is planning for the possibility that left tackle Terron Armstead will not play in 2025. Armstead, who has had a successful career, is contemplating retirement after 12 seasons and a four-year contract with Miami. McDaniel emphasized the necessity for the team to move forward in their preparations for free agency and the draft, specifically mentioning offensive tackle Patrick Paul, who could step up as a starter if needed.
One thing that Terron understands is from the organizational perspective, we have to operate in some way, shape, or form. I think we have to operate as though he won't play just because you have to prepare for things that you can't control.
The Dolphins selected offensive tackle Patrick Paul in the second round of last year's draft, with the expectation that he'd take over for Armstead at some point.
I think he's going to take his time with his family and loved ones and make that decision because it is not an easy one, but we will be operating.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said in January that they will aggressively focus on its offensive line, as they will have to replace three starters.
