"What resolution will they find with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his behemoth of a contract? Do they see players like running back De'Von Achane, center Aaron Brewer and linebacker Jordyn Brooks as foundational building blocks worthy of contract extensions? After wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and offensive guard James Daniels were already released and Bradley Chubb has been informed he'll be released, are other veterans either on the trade block or bound to be cut?"
"The widespread belief is the Dolphins will seek a trade partner for Tagovailoa, likely taking on a large chunk of the $54 million he is guaranteed in 2026. Cutting the former franchise quarterback under former GM Chris Grier and ex-coach Mike McDaniel would cost Miami a record-breaking $99.2 million dead cap hit, which can be spread over two seasons if he's designated a post-June 1 release."
Jon‑Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley will evaluate draft prospects at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis using drills, testing and interviews. Both will face questions in news conferences for the first time since their Jan. 22 introductions. Key roster issues include quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's contract and potential trade, contract-extension decisions for players such as De'Von Achane, Aaron Brewer and Jordyn Brooks, and additional veteran releases or trades following already released players Tyreek Hill, Nick Westbrook‑Ikhine, James Daniels and informed release Bradley Chubb. The Dolphins are widely expected to seek a trade partner for Tagovailoa rather than absorb a $99.2 million dead cap by cutting him. The combine precedes a week on the calendar before free agency opens March 9 at 12 p.m.
