Anthony AlabiLT252008Got stronger during "redshirt" season but needs more bulk to compete for starting role.Darian BarnesFB262006Excellent blocker. Will return, but team will look at better receivers.Yeremiah BellS28RFAFinished first healthy season. Could start at FS if Lance Schulters doesn't sign.Joe BergerG242006A work in progress. Likely headed for NFL Europe.Marty BookerWR302008Made progress in second half of '05, but cheaper alternatives may be available.David BostonWR28UFAKnee problems past two years make it unlikely he'll be back.David BowensDE292006Six sacks in limited action showed his value as a situational pass rusher.C.J. BrooksOG242006Signed late off Raiders' practice squad. Will probably get some time in Europe.Ronnie BrownRB242009Will be franchise running back for many years after impressive rookie season.Vernon CareyRT252008Much improved, but that won't stop Dolphins from looking at other options.Kevin CarterDE322009Can still get to the QB and is extremely durable. Saban loves his leadership.Chris ChambersWR282009Finally started earning big contract extension over final eight games of 2005.Channing CrowderLB222008Maybe biggest steal of 2005 draft. His long-term health is only question.Travis DanielsCB232008Solid rookie season, but may be more suited to play nickel back.Chris DavisWR24UFANever made it off the practice squad.John DenneyLS/TE27RFASolid first season, taking Ed Perry's place. Another shrewd Saban move.Lorenzo DiamondTE272006Intriguing athlete who could play in league for long time.Alonzo EphraimC24RFAStruggled starting at RG. His return depends on what team does with Seth McKinney.Gus FrerotteQB352006Solid, but not long-term answer. May need to restructure his contract to return.Fred GibsonWR24UFAIntriguing talent, but didn't get to show much on practice squad.Bryan GilmoreWR27UFADolphins may not be only team interested in the speedy special-teams standout.Jason GlennLB26UFAStar special-teams player, but Saban might drop him for someone younger.Rex HadnotC/G242007At RG, struggled against physical players. May be a long-term answer at center.Kay-Jay HarrisRB27UFAShined early in camp but with team's RB logjam, may be headed elsewhere.Vonnie HollidayDT302006Despite nagging injuries, was solid. He should return for at least one more season.Alex HolmesTE24RFACould be a solid H-back but he has a long way to go.Reggie HowardCB292009As a backup, he'll need to take major pay cut if he wants to stay.Jack HuntS242006Likely headed to Europe for second straight season to see if he can stick.Eddie JacksonCB25RFASolid waiver-wire pickup who couldn't stay healthy. He should return, though.Jeno JamesLG292009Much improved under line coach Hudson Houck. His salary's a bit high for position.Donnie JonesP26RFAHad stellar season, but his salary demands will dictate whether he returns.Tebucky JonesS312006Needed to restructure $6.5 million salary even before pectoral tear that ended season.Mike LabinjoLB26RFASigned day of season finale. Played mostly on special teams with Eagles.Norman LeJeuneS26RFAWas burned for a touchdown only time he played. Not fast enough to play in NFL.Cleo LemonQB262006Has nice skills but no pro experience. Will return at least for a look.Sam MadisonCB322007Dolphins not likely to pay $3.5 million salary. Defensive youth movement starts here.Olindo MareK332009Despite best season since 2002, not a lock to stay put long-term.Stockar McDougleRT29UFAHuge disappointment. Will not return. One of Saban's few mistakes in free agency.Damion McIntoshLT292009Much better in '05, but isn't worth $4.4 million next year. Might restructure again.Seth McKinneyC27UFAIf coaches like Hadnot at center, McKinney unlikely to return.Randy McMichaelTE272009Under-used, but isn't going anywhere after getting a contract extension.Travis MinorRB27UFADidn't get any nibbles on market last year. Should be back on special teams.Shirdonya MitchellCB24RFAIntriguing prospect who "redshirted" with knee injury. Has shot at starting if healthy.Eddie MooreLB262007Has yet to stay healthy. Still cheap, so he could go to training camp.Sammy MorrisFB29UFADolphins may get some competition for top-notch special-teams player.Kendall NewsonWR26UFAShowed great promise for second straight season before another injury sidelined him.Will PooleCB252007Coming off ACL surgery, but will likely take Madison's place.Derrick PopeLB242007Underrated backup who is carving niche on special teams.Jason RaderTE25UFAShould be back in NFL Europe. May get looks elsewhere.Nick RogersLB27UFAOnly contributed on special teams. Will likely be replaced by younger player.Sage RosenfelsQB28UFAProbably won't return unless Frerotte declines to restructure. Not QB of the future.Matt RothDE232009Didn't impress for a second-round pick. Needs to get stronger in off-season.Cliff RussellWR272006Will be back for camp, but isn't likely to stick.Lance SchultersFS31UFAPossible defensive MVP should get long-term contract, but probably not from Dolphins.Junior SeauLB372006Wants to play again but has missed 17 games the past two seasons.Wade SmithOL252006Will continue to get a look at center after missing season with fractured arm.Donnie SpraganLB302006Does well in Saban's scheme. His return depends on whether team takes LBs in draft.Jason TaylorDE322009Had his best season and will get better under Saban. Worth big contract  for now.Kiwaukee ThomasCB29RFABattled injuries, but should be at training camp to compete for backup spot.Zach ThomasLB332008Star player, but injury problems make his long-term future anything but sure.Orrin ThompsonDT23UFAPractice-squad player will just be a camp body if he returns.Travares TillmanS282006Should be back to at least add depth if there aren't more attractive alternatives.Lester TownsLB29UFAOdds aren't good that he'll return. Saw action on some special teams.Keith TraylorNT362006Due to make just $770,000, so should return. Health and age are issues, though.Christopher Van HoyDT24UFASigned late in the season. May be invited to camp, but that's about it.Kevin VickersonDT232006Medical "redshirt" season should benefit him. Has great physical tools.Wes WelkerWR252006Special-teams hero showed reliable receiving skills. Could be in position for extension.Ricky WilliamsRB292007Deserves raise with contingencies after showing little rust. May be used as trade bait.Jason WillisWR26UFAWill only be back as another pair of hands for training camp.Manuel WrightDT222008Physical skills are unquestioned. Made some progress with his maturity.Jeff ZgoninaDT362006Provides good depth and should be back if Wright and Vickerson aren't ready.
