49ers land Jack Jones on terms after visit

Free-agent cornerback Jack Jones has agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers after his visit, returning to the NFL after starting all 17 games for the Dolphins last season (980 snaps) with 77 tackles, an interception, six pass breakups and two forced fumbles. A 2022 Patriots fourth‑round pick, Jones has appeared in 59 games with 38 starts in his career, including stints with the Raiders and Dolphins, and has 136 tackles, seven interceptions and four interception-return TDs across his NFL tenure.

Edholm's 2026 Mock Draft 2.0: Dolphins land Lemon as Waddle replacement, Chiefs poke for Delane

Eric Edholm updates his 2026 NFL Mock Draft 2.0 after a busy offseason and two first‑round trades, projecting the Dolphins to replace Jaylen Waddle with Makai Lemon at No. 11 (Waddle traded to the Broncos) and the Chiefs adding Mansoor Delane at No. 9. The rest of the first round leans into wide receivers and offensive tackles with a strong front‑seven presence, including Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders at No. 1 and Kadyn Proctor to the Steelers at No. 21, among other picks that address key team needs across the league.

Five NFL Clubs Poised with Dual First-Rounders for 2026 Draft

Five teams—Dolphins, Jets, Cowboys, Browns and Chiefs—already own two first-round picks for the 2026 NFL draft: Miami (Nos. 11 and 30 via the Waddle trade), the Jets (Nos. 2 and 16 from the Sauce Gardner deal), Dallas (Nos. 12 and 20 from the Micah Parsons trade), Cleveland (Nos. 6 and 24 from the Jaguars swap), and Kansas City (Nos. 9 and 29 from the Trent McDuffie deal). A potential sixth dual-pick deal with the Raiders collapsed, and the Broncos, Falcons, Colts, Packers and Jaguars do not have two first-rounders.

Dolphins face a colossal dead-cap bill after Tagovailoa exit and Waddle trade

Miami's 2026 dead-money total climbs to about $175 million after releasing Tua Tagovailoa and trading Jaylen Waddle, with Tagovailoa costing roughly $99 million over the next two seasons and the Waddle deal adding more than $26 million in dead cap for the upcoming year, plus other former Dolphins contributing to the bill as the team heads into the draft.

Tagovailoa's Miami Era Ends as Falcons Offer Fresh Start

After a volatile six seasons with the Dolphins, Tua Tagovailoa's 2025 season proved to be his nadir, ending with a Week 15 benching and Dolphins' record $99 million dead-money cap hit to part ways; he landed with the Atlanta Falcons, where an intro press conference framed the move as a reset. While he publicly acknowledged the need to play better, questions remain about a decline in arm strength and overall play, making a potential Miami return unlikely and effectively closing his Dolphins era.

Dolphins bet on Willis upside as Gonzalez lands at kicker

Day 2 of the Dolphins’ free-agency push included signing kicker Zane Gonzalez after passing on Sanders and Patterson, and adding quarterback Malik Willis, whose upside has drawn praise from pundits despite a small sample. Willis’ $22.5 million per year contract with $45 million guaranteed signals a high-upside bet, while cap space remains tight (about $1.8 million over the cap) as Miami eyes additional moves.

Dolphins Eye Romeo Doubs in Free-Agent WR Hunt

The Miami Dolphins have reportedly spoken with Green Bay Packers free-agent WR Romeo Doubs as they search to remake their receiving corps after parting with Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Doubs, who turns 26 in April, has career numbers of 202 receptions for 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns in 60 games with the Packers, and he totaled 55 receptions for 724 yards and 6 TDs in 2025. If signed, he’d join Jaylen Waddle to form a potent Miami duo, with De’Von Achane at running back and Greg Dulchich at tight end. The article notes cap-space concerns for the Dolphins and mentions interest in Kendrick Bourne, plus the possibility of creative contract structures to keep immediate cap hits manageable, with a nod to Malik Willis’ controversial tie to Miami as context.

Dolphins move on from Tua Tagovailoa, eye quarterback reinvention

The Miami Dolphins informed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa that he will be released at the start of the new league year, using a post-June 1 designation to spread his remaining cap hit over two years. The move creates about $99 million in dead money on Miami's books and leaves Tagovailoa with a guaranteed $54 million salary for 2026 as the team searches for a new starter.

Dolphins’ QB plans stall as Garoppolo’s Cardinals path opens

Miami is weighing veteran quarterback options as a Malik Willis backup, but price concerns may derail Willis. ESPN-linked reports point to Jimmy Garoppolo likely landing with Arizona to start under LaFleur, especially as Kyler Murray’s future remains in flux. If Miami misses Garoppolo, they’ll pursue other veterans or draft a QB, with names like Mariota, Dobbs, Keenum, Pickett, or Trubisky floated as cheap options in a weak 2024 free-agent class.

Dolphins weigh veteran QB options as cap space remains tight and Ross unlocks stake

Miami Dolphins’ new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan is weighing veteran QBs to compete with Quinn Ewers while keeping cap constraints (under $1 million), with Malik Willis eyed only at the right price and Jimmy Garoppolo among names on the radar. The team wants a competitive, not handed, job for a veteran and could draft or trade for a long-term solution; Tua Tagovailoa could be cut post-June 1, though a trade is preferred if possible. A broad list of veteran options is cited, with varying costs. Separately, owner Stephen Ross is nearing a deal to sell 1% of the Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium, and related assets to Lin Bin for about $125 million, valuing the franchise around $12.5 billion.
