Dolphins salary cap purge hands Patriots a seasoned pass rusher to sign
"The most intriguing of all is defensive end Bradley Chubb, who spent the four seasons in Miami and could be a solid addition to the Patriots' pass rush. The 29-year-old was a first-round draft pick in 2018 and hasn't always played like his draft status, but he could be what their defense needs in the midst of their retooling, especially if they're unsure about bringing back K'Lavon Chaisson or how Harold Landry III might fare after potentially having surgery this offseason."
"Just last season, he recorded 47 combined tackles, eight for a loss, 20 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and 8.5 sacks. That's on par with what the Patriots got out of their pass rushers in 2025, but Chubb has shown he can do much more than that and might be worth a flier to see if he still can."
Free agency begins in a few weeks and teams are making roster purges, led by the Miami Dolphins. Miami cut defensive end Bradley Chubb after four seasons, making him an intriguing potential target for the New England Patriots. Chubb is 29, a 2018 first-round pick, two-time Pro Bowler, and has multiple double-digit sack seasons. Last season he had 47 combined tackles, eight for loss, 20 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and 8.5 sacks. The Patriots lack consistent pass-rush production since trading Matthew Judon and may view Chubb as a realistic, potentially cheaper veteran alternative to draft or trade targets.
