RB Jaylen Wright
Miami selected Wright in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Tennessee and he is currently in line to be the No. 2 running back behind starter De'Von Achane. That's a pretty advantageous spot given Achane's durability concerns, so Wright could see starting reps at some point this season. Even if Achane remains healthy, however, Mike McDaniel's offense has proven that it can have multiple running backs produce at a high level. During Achane's rookie season, when he totaled 997 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns, Raheem Mostert(who is no longer with the team) had 1,187 total yards and 21 touchdowns. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Wright flirts with Achane's rookie numbers and comes close to 1,000 scrimmage yards.
I can see that but Achane is gonna have to get out of the way and every indicator I get says that’s not gonna happen barring attrition.

I thought I saw a player who was getting moved off his spot too much when engaged, and his weight kind of fooled my eyes

From Ben Solaks latest article, this gets me pumped.
Jaelan Phillips, Edge, Miami Dolphins
Miami's defensive front -- and in particular, its pass rush -- was a force to be reckoned with down the stretch last season. First-round pick Chop Robinsonimmediately hit, with a higher pressure rate (17.2%) than eventual Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse. His quick first step will look great opposite technician and sack artist Phillips, who missed all but three games of the season with a torn ACL. It remains to be seen how quickly Phillips can return to form, but with Robinson, Phillips and Bradley Chubb all on the field on late downs, the Dolphins could have one of the most disruptive fronts in football.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle sends Tua Tagovailoa warning to the rest of the NFL | Sporting News
Could a big Tua Tagovailoa season be coming in South Florida?
www.sportingnews.com
“He’s just excited to play, man,” Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle shared during a midweek press conference. “He looks confident, coming out with a different swag. He’s got dye in his hair and some other stuff. He looks like he’s just eager to play, man.”
Jaylen Waddle has been a teammate of Tua Tagovailoa’s dating back to their time in Tuscaloosa, so it’s understandable why he’d be so eager to sing the praises of his quarterback. But he’s not the only one in the building who has seen a different version of Tagovailoa this spring.
“He’s definitely a lot more confident and decisive on and off the field,” says Dolphins lineman Austin Jackson. “He knows what people are supposed to be doing in terms of training. He knows what we’re doing on the field. He knows how to take care of his body. He knows how to unite guys, bring us together for team camaraderie and stuff, just to get together. He’s a full-blown leader.”

5 Miami Dolphins who impressed during the team's OTA practice sessions
Tua Tagovailoa - QB
Without having contact in his face, Tagovailoa has been crisp with his throws, including handling adverse weather conditions the players practiced in twice last week. Tagovailoa hasdisplayed a more pronounced leadership rolewith the team, according to several players. It will be interesting to see how he shows up to training camp and whether or not he takes the next steps to shoulder the responsibilities of being a team leader.Austin Jackson - OL
Another leader has emerged to take the place of Terron Armstead. Jackson had a great 2023 season that earned him a contract extension, but in 2024, he missed most of the year due to injury. Jackson isn't wearing a knee brace and has told the media he doesn't intend to. Something worth keeping an eye on.Ethan Bonner - CB
Bonner was one of the best CBs during camp last year, but it didn't amount to playing time on Sundays. Now, with Ramsey on his way out and Fuller already gone, Bonner has a chance to impress the coaching staff enough to warrant playing time.Jaylen Wright - RB
Perhaps he is feeling the pressure from the drafting of Ollie Gordon, maybe it is all starting to click in his second season. Regardless of the reasons, Wright has looked good through OTAs and as a result, will be closely monitored in training camp. The Dolphins need him to step up behind De'Von Achane, who has also had good practice sessions.Tanner Conner - TE
The Dolphins' third tight end's biggest problem is staying healthy. So far, he has had good practice sessions, and the door may be opening for more reps in camp. The Jonnu Smith deal to Pittsburgh could open the door of opportunity for Conner, and if Smith does leave, the Dolphins need him to step up...and stay healthy.
5 Dolphins just sent a loud message before training camp even starts
The Miami Dolphins have concluded this year's OTAs and will take part in a mandatory mini-camp next week before heading out for the summer.

Lol Tanner Conner the ultimate training camp guy that does nothing during the season, hopefully Conyers takes his spot

Sielers one of the last real leaders on the team we need to take care of him and not let him hit the market.
www.si.com
The amount is a bit higher next year, but the guarantees are done.
First, let's just say that $7.3 million after Sieler recorded double-digit sacks the past two seasons and earned team MVP honors (from the South Florida media) in 2024 makes him grossly underpaid.
His annual average, per OverTheCap, is $10.25 million, which puts him 33rd among interior defensive linemen. There are a lot of good IDLs in the NFL, and we can argue whether Sieler belongs in the top 10, but it's undeniable that he ranks higher than 33rd.
The Dolphins seem to have scaled back on giving out big contracts in 2025 after the summer of spending in 2024 when Jaylen Waddle, Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey all got big-money contracts. In the case of Hill and Ramsey, each player had multiple years left on their deal.
Along with his work on the field, Sieler is a team captain and will have to play the role of mentor next season to a young group of defensive linemen that includes three draft picks, first-round selection Kenneth Grant, Jordan Phillips and Zeek Biggers.
It's probably not a coincidence that the Dolphins' best defensive performance of the 2024 season, the Monday night victory against the Rams, came when Sieler returned after missing two games with a freaky eye injury and the team struggled against Arizona and Buffalo in his absence.
So Sieler is valuable in many ways.
As is always the case, it's not like the Dolphins simply should give him whatever he wants, but they most definitely should address his contract.
Sieler doesn't turn 30 until August and he's clearly a foundational piece for this team.
It says here he clearly should be a bigger priority than Smith, who also has outperformed his career, because Sieler has more value, arguably is a better player and would be way more difficult to replace.
Sieler Situation Should Take Precedence for Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have a dilemma on their hands with tight end Jonnu Smith, who was missing from the two OTAs open to the media as he looks to have his contrac

WHY SIELER SHOULD GET A NEW DEAL
Sieler has two years left on the three-year contract extension he signed in 2023 and has a base salary of $7.3 million this year.The amount is a bit higher next year, but the guarantees are done.

NFL.com proposes 2 Dolphins related trades…what the **** David Carr?
David Carr
NFL.com Analyst
Tyreek Hill to the New England Patriots.
Hill has been at the center of Dolphins headlines this offseason. It actually started when he voiced his frustrations at the end of a disappointing 2024 campaign in Miami, both for the Fins (who finished below .500 for the first time since 2019) and Hill (who missed the Pro Bowl for the first time in his nine-year career). The star receiver publicly expressed a desire to play elsewhere, an idea the Dolphins nixed and Hill himself quickly backtracked on. However, I'm not convinced Miami will keep him, considering his off-field issues and the fact that the franchise can save nearly $15 million by moving him, per Over The Cap. The Dolphins might be wary of trading within the division, but if not, the Patriots and Drake Maye certainly could use Hill's services in the passing attack. New England has admirably overhauled the offense this offseason, and Hill would continue that trend by giving Josh McDaniels a guy who can elevate his attack to the next level due to his speed and field-stretching ability.

Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams.
Ramsey and the Dolphins have mutually agreed to explore trade options, and there's no doubt the Rams are a realistic landing spot. Even head coach Sean McVay has commented on the possibility of reuniting with the veteran cornerback in Los Angeles, where Ramsey helped the franchise win a Super Bowl in the 2021 season. He is still playing at a high level despite turning 30 years old last October and would add championship experience to the team's secondary. If the two sides can strike a deal, it could be a key move in Los Angeles' quest to get back to the Super Bowl.
