Grade the Miami Dolphins 2026 offseason

5 Upvotes

The Dolphins offseason has all but come to a close, and boy has it been a doozy.

You could comfortably make the case that Miami had the most volcanic offseason of any team this year - a 6 month period that included hiring a new GM and HC, major shakeups in the front office and coaching staff, cutting and trading a number of high profile players, assuming a record dead cap number, signing the most intriguing QB available, drafting an enormous rookie class, and extending some cornerstone players.

And yet, for all the drama, it was notably absent of the sort of scandal to which we've grown accustomed. No arrests. No lawsuits. No massage parlors. No, ahem, high profile infidelities with reporters. No national discourse about locker room culture. Just football.

With that said - and with the understanding that there may still be forthcoming roster adds through the waiver wire or free agency - how would you grade this Dolphins offseason now that you've had a chance to take it all in?

If the rumors are true are we getting new unis for 27 as a test to see how they do? Or what’s happening?

Upvotes

I’ve heard some rumors about a new dolphins jersey for next year and with Silman potentially gonna be in charge now. I do wonder if we get a new logo but before we get a new logo we would need to test the new unis next year if the rumor is true. Then if it does well then I can see a logo change since Ross is getting very old. But if I want a nice logo I think we should do what the eagles did but do an aggressive, angry, physical dolphin that matches the current regime. But let me know what you guys think. I often don’t make posts here but what do you think will happen?

I allowed myself to have a glimmer of hope that Ju Ju Brents would be a valuable part of our DB room this year...then I did a little research and now understand the man is broken.

Upvotes

His documented injuries throughout his career include:

  • 2025 (Miami Dolphins):
    • Foot Injury: Suffered a right foot injury against the Washington Commanders, resulting in season-ending surgery and placement on injured reserve.
    • Ankle Injury: Left a game against the Washington Commanders with an ankle issue.
    • Hamstring Injury: Bothered him during the summer leading up to the season.
  • 2024 (Indianapolis Colts):
    • Knee Injury: Suffered a torn meniscus and MCL in the season-opening game against the Texans, costing him almost the entire year.
    • Groin Injury: Suffered this in the season finale when he returned to the lineup.
    • Broken Nose: Missed time during the preseason.
  • 2023 (Indianapolis Colts):
    • Hamstring Injury: Occurred during training camp and cost him the first two games of his rookie season.
    • Quadriceps Injury: Cost him six additional games during his rookie campaign.
    • Wrist Injury: Underwent surgery during the pre-draft process.

During his college career at both Iowa and Kansas State, JuJu Brents’ most significant setback was a severe knee injury. This injury, along with a subsequent surgery, disrupted multiple collegiate seasons.

His documented college injury timeline includes:

  • 2019 (Iowa Hawkeyes):
    • Knee Injury: Suffered a preseason knee injury during fall camp. It forced him to miss the season opener and limited him to just one game. He ultimately redshirted the season due to the lingering effects of the injury.
  • 2020 (Iowa Hawkeyes):
    • Undisclosed Injury: Missed specific game action (including a matchup against Iowa State) while managing health setbacks.
  • 2021 (Kansas State Wildcats):
    • Unspecified Surgical Recovery: Arrived at Kansas State recovering from a surgery undergone in December 2020. This limited his initial reps during spring and summer camp before he fully cleared protocols to start the season.
  • 2023 (Pre-Draft Process):
    • Wrist Injury: Sustained a wrist injury that required surgery immediately following his final college season, which limited his participation leading up to the NFL Draft.

(He also missed most of his high school junior season in 2016 due to an injury before returning healthy for his senior year.)

The dude is broken.

Orange Parking Passes...

4 Upvotes

Been a Season Ticket Holder for 30+ years. My Father got the family and I four seats when I was 8 years old in 1991 and we've had them ever since. When the Renovations took place, we had to move, and we've been in 328 R3 since then. I have been paying for the tickets for a decade plus now for my father/wife and friends that come with.

The Dolphins took our Orange Parking away in 2011 when they started the Yellow thing. My dad who isn't good with email missed clicking renew by a day.

Ever since then I've called every year and have been on a "waiting list." I've had to scalp books of parking passes year over year since then. The McDaniel Boom... Christ, I paid more for parking than my tickets. So if you are holding and looking to sell. Holler at me please.

TL,DR: I need Orange Parking passes. Dolphins stink. Will pay you cash wherever in South Florida. Preferably the whole book.

Barry Jackson: The Dolphins aren't tanking but they also are bypassing free agents who are better than what they have. Is this the right approach?

Thumbnail miamiherald.com
71 Upvotes

There are a few things that are already indisputable about new Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, and here’s one of them:

He’s a direct and succinct communicator. He has clearly stated his blueprint — “we will be a draft-and-develop team” — and his philosophy on free agent spending (dole out significant money very selectively, and only on genuine difference-makers).

He has repeatedly explained how the team needed to get its salary cap in order, was honest when he said De’Von Achane wasn’t made available in trade talks and candidly and accurately identified the team’s building blocks immediately after he was hired, then put owner Stephen Ross’ money where his mouth is, so to speak, in extending Achane and center Aaron Brewer.

But with one particular question — Are the Dolphins really trying to win this season? — Sullivan can neither be candid nor forthright. And the answer is muddled, layered and ambiguous, anyway.

The early stages of a rebuild are generally awkward and uncomfortable, with teams often saying things like they want to win even if they don’t really mean it.

Some teams try to lose as many games as possible to get a high draft pick.

Some teams go in clearly trying to lose (take the 2019 Dolphins), but then watch their coach torpedo those plans by playing a decent quarterback (Ryan Fitzpatrick) instead of a mostly incompetent one (Josh Rosen). Thanks a lot, Brian Flores!

In the Dolphins’ case, they’re not tanking in the traditional sense. A team thoroughly intent on tanking wouldn’t keep Achane, Brewer and linebacker Jordyn Brooks.

A tanking team wouldn’t commit $67 million ($45 million guaranteed) to a promising quarterback (Malik Willis) instead of giving the keys to a journeyman in the Josh Johnson mold.

A tanking team might have prioritized acquiring 2027 draft picks over extra 2026 draft picks.

“The whole rebuild, retool thing, I don’t believe in that,” Sullivan said in March. “I think it sends a terrible message to the locker room. Those guys that are in that locker room feel like they’re going to have a chance to win.”

But some of their actions suggest the Dolphins aren’t doing everything in their power to win as many games as possible this season with the hope of competing for a final wild-card spot. (And most fans are fine with that, I imagine.)

A team trying to win wouldn’t sign the league’s worst graded cornerback last season (Darrell Baker, at the minimum) and make no attempt to re-sign Rasul Douglas, one of the league’s highest-graded corners last season.

A team trying to win wouldn’t think about entering a season without a legitimate No. 1 or No. 2 receiver, as the Dolphins are doing after trading Jaylen Waddle and bypassing every available free agent who would fill that need.

A team trying to win wouldn’t go into July with one of the worst safety groups in Dolphins history, passing on far better options available throughout free agency.

A team trying to win wouldn’t make Jalen Reagor — a receiver who hasn’t appeared in a game since 2024 — its only post-June 1 signing to date.

A team trying to win wouldn’t sit on $12 million in cap space instead of targeting any of the dozen or so free agents who are superior to what’s on the roster now. (That group includes, among others edge players Haason Reddick, Derek Barnett and Jadaveon Clowney; receivers Stefon Diggs, Keenan Allen, DeAndre Hopkins, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Cooks; guard Mekhi Becton; and safeties Donovan Wilson and Xavier Woods.)

Is it wrong that the Dolphins aren’t trying to win as many games as they possibly can? Not necessarily. Even if they signed two of the top remaining free agents, it likely wouldn’t be enough to catapult them into wild-card contention.

And nobody will be complaining in April if signing Tutu Atwell instead of Diggs or Samuel, or Lonnie Johnson II instead of Wilson, better positions the Dolphins to draft Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith instead of a lesser prospect.

But the decision to go all-in on some positions, while essentially going all-out on others, has left the first year of this rebuild in something of an odd place.

It also has left it more difficult to judge Willis, because he doesn’t have a veteran starting-caliber receiver on the roster. (This is one of very few mistakes that this impressive new regime has made, in my view.)

It also has left the Dolphins as a source of derision among national pundits.

ESPN ranked the Dolphins position players as the worst in the league. Las Vegas oddsmakers have put the team’s over/under win total at 4 1/2.

Noted football analytics expert Warren Sharp said last week: “The Miami Dolphins defense might be one of the worst in the NFL,” Sharp said. “They have very poor personnel. Their secondary is abysmal. It’s easy to look at the receiving core and say it’s terrible, but the defense might be even worse.

“And as a result of that, all these really good offenses that they’re going to play are going to score points. And when those teams are scoring points, it’s going to be hard to outscore them with Malik Willis and those wide receivers. I think from a personnel perspective, they do have the worst roster in the league.”

I generally loathe when people answer a “yes or no” question with the words “yes and no.”

But if someone asks you if the Dolphins are trying to win this season, it’s partially accurate. I would instead go with “more no than yes” with one addendum:

“It’s complicated.”
