Liam Eichenberg has re-signed with the Miami Dolphins on a one-year deal, extending his tenure with the team beyond his rookie contract. He started 14 games at right guard last season and has accumulated 52 starts in total. Despite limited sacks allowed, Pro Football Focus ranked him poorly overall among guards, particularly in run blocking. The Dolphins signed James Daniels, increasing competition for Eichenberg’s starting spot. With draft prospects in mind, Eichenberg will have to compete for the remaining guard position and backup center role.
Eichenberg's run-blocking was particularly problematic during the latter part of the season, contributing to the struggles of the Dolphins' interior running game.
Despite allowing only two sacks, Eichenberg's 29 pressures ranked as the 21st most among all NFL guards, indicating concerns in his pass protection.
With the Dolphins signing James Daniels, Eichenberg will face increased competition for the starting guard position, having to prove his value in the upcoming season.
The Dolphins are eyeing several interior offensive linemen in the draft, suggesting a potential shift in their strategy to bolster the offensive line.
