"The difference in those two outcomes will be found in how the Dolphins, who were blasted by the New England Patriots, 38-10, in Sunday's season finale at Gillette Stadium, handle their uncertainty this offseason. And there's major uncertainty. There's uncertainty ranging from who will be the general manager in the 2026 season to who will be the quarterback. The uncertainty, to a small extent, includes who will be head coach. There's not yet an assurance Mike McDaniel is back for a fifth season."
"The Dolphins could return some respectable, proven talent among running back De'Von Achane, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, center Aaron Brewer, left tackle Patrick Paul, right tackle Austin Jackson, defensive tackle Zach Sieler, linebacker Jordyn Brooks and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Players also think this team was better than its losing record indicates. "It's a much better team than we put on tape," offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill said. In truth, however, the Dolphins' future is very cloudy and very frustrating."
The Dolphins are bordering on being an absolute mess and on being a playoff team after a 38-10 loss to the Patriots in the season finale. Major offseason uncertainty includes the general manager for 2026, the quarterback, and potentially the head coach, with no assurance Mike McDaniel will return. Players express optimism, citing core talent and believing the team is better than its 7-10 record indicates. Prospective returnees include De'Von Achane, Jaylen Waddle, Aaron Brewer, Patrick Paul, Austin Jackson, Zach Sieler, Jordyn Brooks and Minkah Fitzpatrick. Owner Steve Ross did not address the team; sweeping changes remain a logical option.
